I've almost given up trying to understand how Google works. Their "Webmaster Tools" indicates that the average ranking for this site for the search term "dividend growth forum" is 1.0.
But when I search for the term myself, I don't rank in the first five pages even. And it sounds like your experience is similar. Would love if folks would do a quick experiment and type "dividend growth forum" into google and let me know if this site shows up on page one of results.
(Keep in mind that unless you turn it off, Google does a lot of personalization of results, so there is no reason to expect we'd all get the same search results for the same term.)
