Well done Niall. Yea, the hard slog is ahead of you.
I don't mean to be a killjoy, but in most cases with generic terms like this it is not worth your time optimizing for a single generic word. We were on page one for Web Design on google.com and to be honest, we stopped actively going after it. (I know, my sig is still "Active"). We did and still do get a lot of traffic but it is mostly just crap browsing traffic. At this stage, it's just vanity.
There IS an advantage however when it comes to stemming. Bill Slawski has a great article on stemming here. Have a read, it has some great stuff in it.
What sort of traffic are you getting from the term and how well is it converting for you?

Nice going Niall
They're some nice stats, and turning in a nice bit of cash also. The other thing I'd add to Dave's comment is that you might be as well off not letting the cat out of the bag, so to speak.
Not to mention that I wouldn't go drawing too much attention to yout link building tactics if you're hoping to remain on the white side of the fence.
All in all though, well done on your success.
