K2 - Testing Keyword Selection

I am conducting a little test on the importance of keyword density as it relates to search engine result placement. I created a new page on my website and assigned it the primary keyword of keyword selection. We all know that I shouldn't have a chance in heck of showing up on the first three pages of Google for that term but I figured it was worth a shot. My next step is to find links from websites relevant to that term and link back to my interior page. If anybody is interested or has any suggestions, please let me know. Thanks!
