Page is a not externally linkable

1) We have no affiliate links or advertising at all 2) We have no 301/404/whatever problems 3) Our site has entirely unique content created by us (though we have been scraped repeatedly, text as well as images as I mentioned in another recent thread) 4) We have no internal linking problems (it's been the same linking scheme for at least 6 years) 5) We don't really link swap, and the vast majority of our links are pointed to us organically 6) We don't do cross-linking with other sites. In fact, there's only 1 page on our site that has any outbound links whatsoever. And no, it's not called links.html :) 7) We don't over optimize (we have no H1 tags for example) For as long as the site has been up we've been immune to the Big Daddy/Florida/Update of the Month effect. We've steadily moved up over time without a problem (we should count ourselves lucky I guess). We have no one targeted keyword or keyword combo that we derive traffic from, but rather thousands of keywords and combos, none of which we SEO to try and improve. I believe we have some sort of TrustRank because if you type in our URL you do get the the site along with the nifty little links below it to the major sections. Anyway, I'd love to hear any suggestions for solving this. Reading through those threads I gathered "just sit tight and hope for the best" is the current plan.
It's definitely not "end of results" for me. Looking over the links you gave me the "keyword1 keyword2" vs. "keyword1 keyword2 keyword3" thing seems to be true. 2 keywords has us penalized, but a 3rd keyword has us back at the top. So it's not page specific so far as I can tell. Other things to discount from reading that thread:
