That could be because you're searching for ET-ish things.

As I understand it, SEO-ers get more of a return from mass-market searches for mass-market items like grills and domestic doodads.

The audience for economic deconstruction and heavy rail is likely quite a bit smaller than the audience for fat-free cooking items.

What I meant to suggest is that Google ranking now also contains some measure of quality/spam-infectedness. In addition, for the spammers, the backlinks deposited on ET may be one of many.

Well of course - I'm often checking out background in the hope of making some contribution here that does not reveal all of my inadequacies ;-)

ET gets linked by a lot of blogs and other sites. Not enough! But still, quite a bit. Hence the relatively good search engine profile.

Plus, by a glimpse at the sitemeter, we get a lot of traffic from the google image search, maybe even more as through the normal google search. We post a lot of pictures, and google is as kind to index us even when we do it stealing other people's bandwith.
