Many factors can effect the search results
returned by search engines, but a major factor in search
engine ranking these days is "link
popularity"; that is how many other web sites
that have links pointing to your site.
In simple terms, the more sites that link
to yours, the "more important" your site must
be, and therefore the higher your ranking!
Here's and example:
A web site with a larger amount of sites
linking to it would score a "higher relevance ranking"
than one with fewer links. As a result, the search engine
would place a higher level of importance on that site
and give it preferential treatment, and a higher placement
in its directory
