Sorry for the newbie questions, but I'm trying to figure out how this google ranking works. After doing some research it seems that rankings are mostly based upon content in the page such as title, headings, content etc. As well, ranking is affected by page popularity (PageRank). Finally, time for the search engine to grab your page and the new PageRank seems to be a factor as well. Seems simple enough.

Any insights from knowledgeable SEOs would be appreciated.

I'm not sure what fixed this, but we seem to be back with a more realistic rating. I did two things to try and rectify it.

1) Removed all white text links (aka hidden links) that point to this site from the internet.
2) Sent a note to google asking why the poor ranking.

Two days after sending this note to google, the site started appearing as #1. Maybe they do read those emails.
