Here’s an interesting bit of Google tinkering speculation I received from a non-profit retreat center no less.
Evidently their name - Emerald Hills - produces a scad of search results.
When they typed in the phrase the first time, it was listing number 93.
They did some subsequent seaches like “EmeraldHills pray retreat learn”
Then they had others check their findings and refining their searches.
In this way — apparently — you’ll climb up in the rankings. We did this with a dozen or so people
in our home staff . . . and maybe 25 other volunteers… so 50 people in all and suddenly, Emerald Hills climbed from 93rd to 65th out of 2.8 million resulting pages. And that climb took place in just 48 hours.So… don’t just click to it — *search* for it now and then.

I’m sure having multiple IP addresses is essential.
But Google “remembers” refined searches and fits them into their algorithm to produce search results that are more likely to be what their customers are looking for.
Interesting…
