The reason you can’t get on the first page is because competitiveness has sky rocketed and combined with Sandbox people don’t buy links. You cant expect to be on page one within 1 year of natural link buliding unless the company has a huge scope. I have 1 sites able to get on the front page one for competitive key phrase in the employment sector only because the company had half million pound budget (offline adverts as well) and a huge scope.
