Wade,
You've noticed one of the key aspects of creating "rank" on the web: relevancy! I don't know how many times I've mentioned listing your polished website on as many community, local, special interest, association, club, or network directories or boards...all with the concept of creating visible relevancy to your website. When listed with dynamic links, spiders see this constant presence (or growing presence) as indication of importance. Some try to fake this by establishing a blog, or forum on their site, or by entering as many as they can on
other sites to inject "counterfeit content" .... the spiders are getting wise to this.
True content cannot be faked, and title-to-content-to-other sites/links is a matrix that is given
much more credibility when it comes to ranking. The old algorthyms are still there, despite the new metrics google has tried to implement to act as phasic filters due to the explosive growth in the number of sites....the majority of which are pure fluff!
Part of VodaHits success is the streaming modifications to your site metrics as indicated by the patternization, and having this service so affordable is one of the first strong recommendations I make for a sound SEO program. You will catch on after making the changes the first 60 days. You will then clearly see the evolving pattern to site development and management, and how to become proactive very simply and without mystery. It's a good thing!
In the meantime, find your site listing in Google, and right click on the Cached Pages, and when it opens up, you will see the last date the spiders saved your page(s). This is the approximate time each month spiders crawl over your site,
so you can schedule updates and changes prior to the visit (add photos with comment on trips/trophy catches, a Newsletter, etc). Updating and changing (real changes, not superficial)
cause your site to be re-examined completely, having demonstrated your site as "active, dynamic, or fluid" and which may change your ranked listing in favor of other "inactive, static" sites that are above you!
Just some more hints to keep you less than frustrated, and excited about your internet experience!
