Why Can't I Beat The Local Google 7 Pack?

Would love to hear how you managed to reach your goal. Anything specific that put you over the top?
 
I had to go through the rigmarole of owner verficiation again last Month.
Before G canned me (and my listing was still showing for some KW anyway) I was in a lot of 7 and 10 packs for most of my target KW.
Now it has come back I am only showing a few but I put that down to the time it takes for G to go through its 'trust checking system' as I changed the URL.

On tip here is list a KW rich url on your local listing and optimize your page for that URL. Source a new one if necessary. Point it at your main site
Build your backlinks and anchor text to your main url with a view to getting it listed in organic.

Do the job correctly and you will get two spots on the first page, one in local the other in organic.
They do not need to be different sites simply different URLS.

Use IBP to optimize the page against your top ten competitors and spend some time to get the score as high as you possibly can.

Some (not all) of my kw will rank above the 7/10 box others immediately below, the second URL trick works wonders and I get two spots on page one for a good number of KW.
 
Seems low end pr0 and pr/NA comment links with scrapebox seems to have done the job. i originally started with wordpress comments, then moveabletype, then blogengine links with the anchor text i wanted to rank for.
of the 1000 or so links i have left 2x are pr4, 1x pr3 and the rest are pr0 and pr/na links. i used google keyword tool to generate about 40 other related keywords like stores, tech, shops, related to the city + computer repair scene google reported people were using to search for and made links with those keywords back to my main page. then i did a similar search for just simply computer repair and after removing the ones that obviously didnt apply to my site in paticular like other city + computer repair i took the remaining keywords just copied and pasted em on my main page in typical spammeramma fashion and set scrapebox up to make links using those keywords. i guess about two weeks later i woke up to second spot for my main keyword. although i seem to have lost some traction on some two work keywords i was seeming great results on - like 500 to 30th spot jump.
when i found auto approved sites either ontopic or not i spammed every single page on their site i could with comments using the same comment but different anchor text back link.
that was the offsite seo..

for onsite seo what i did was:
make the main page title and the H1 text similar but different.
made every page title + H1 text different per page.
removed the link in the H1 text back to the main page.
used H3 post title
used supporting H2 unique keywords and phrases in the post text.
used h3 unqiue keywords and phrases in the post text.
used h2 unique text and similar but unrelated keywords in H2 sidewide headers.
copied and pasted about 300 keywords below my original content in the post.
added about 50 posts that didnt contain my keyword in the title texts with content that was basically mostly a paragraph at most and sitewided those with manual made sitewide links instead of the blogger archive.
kept the blogger archive installed so there is essentially two links to each page...
added a picture i found on google image search i hacked and called my own.

at this point i still think google has more work to do before finding the rest of my links. its reporting 90 unique domains about of more then 1000 i know i made and still can see are alive and waiting for indexing. the mass site wide spam links i made on autoapprove blogenine sites have yet to show up in google webmaster tools....

ive done no further work to any of my 90 or so left 1 page wonder web2.0 sites that contained a paragraph of original content. those seem to be floating to the second third and forth pages...
