There are known parameters that will contribute to a higher ranking and move your results closer to the top. This is not public information, it is data compiled by BumbleBee Works through years of development and observation that we are sharing with our customers. Everyone has their own ideas about what works, so every article you read will likely be telling you something different. If you read enough of them, one will tell you want you want to hear, or you can believe what you read here. We are not selling you any search services, so we do not benefit from our explanations. Many sites explain how the searches work and then try to sell you a service to get you traffic. In our opinion that is a major conflict of interest and is nothing more than a commercial advertisement.
