It surprises me that a lot of the comments here seem to be oblivious to how Google's PageRank algorithm ranks search results. [1] PageRank works by counting the number and quality of links to a page to determine a rough estimate of how important the website is. The underlying assumption is that more important websites are likely to receive more links from other websites.[1] The results of a Google search may not be as one expects because PageRank is the primary algorithm used to return Google search results. If owners of a website want to improve their Google result ranking, they are really required to tune their website to show up in Google search, but more importantly, they need other sites to link to their site, and presumably, the more popular the site, the more links there are to it.
