There used be a time when I would visit the site that had given me the link and just submit it to Google via the Submit a Site link... that used to work fine but G crawls much faster now.
After the week, my experience has been it takes an additionall - dont hold me to this - 2 to 3 weeks before G figure out how to re-rank the links (off page factors) with your content (on page factors)and decide where it goes.
However, I agree with "tedster" it seems that you need more Link Juice... so you're on the right track.

Should i re visit keyword density?
Keyword density today is a bit of an antique idea. It came from the pre-Google 90's, when search engines were essentially character matching machines. Stufy the top ten for almost any search today, and you can find keyword densities that are all over the map. So I'd suggest using naturally written copy and content, aimed to communicate well to your visitors. This gives you a natural amount of keyword occurence on the page - and also the presence of related vocabulary that semantic measurements expect to co-occur for any given keyword.
The overall story, IMO, is to work for variety, and do NOT let PR be your guide. You want the widest variety you can muster in your backlink profile, even possibly including some off-topic sites, I'd say - and remember that today's PR0 website can be a big winner in the near future.
