In short, SEO. (Search Engine Optimization). And even that is behind people that pay Google to rank their results higher. But in general, SEO is the process of making your content more efficiently visible to a search engine via the use of proper tagging, header content, etc. And the result of that is typically that a search engine will rank such things higher in its database based on hits resulting from it.

For instance, if you take two make-believe sites that are exactly the same in every way, except on site A, you tag the picture data with relevant tags, all spelled correctly and just the obvious ones, and on site B, you include misspellings. Site B will get more hits, and will be ranked higher according to Google, because it gets more hits.

So it's a process of getting the hits via SEO, then being ranked higher because of those hits.
Of course, there are other factors. Google, for instance, ranks this very website higher for having a swear filter and not displaying gory images or linking to known gore sites. So when searching for "music forum", ours is likely to be higher than one that does not have a swear filter and gory content.

A lot of things go into it, but from the little I understand about SEO and search ranking, this is a pretty big factor.

my windows 7 just got a blue screen of death a few minutes ago and i lost all my files. Does anyone know why this may have happened? it was just a single blue screen, not repeated. I didn't install any new drivers or software, or any new downloads recently. My computer was not overheating. I believe i'm computer saavy enough to notice if i have any malware or viruses and i don't think i did. I've never had a blue screen that completely wiped my system,

Sounds like a hardware issue.

If you want to get your files back (assuming your HD isn't fried), get a USB to IDE/SATA adapter, pull the HD out of the bad PC, and hook it up to a working PC. I've done this quite a few times over the years.

What files are you talking about? The whole operating system and everything in it? If so, how did you determine that your files are indeed gone, versus unreachable because of the inability to boot up.
Need more information.
If it wasn't an actual wipe, but a boot sector corruption or something, the files are still on the drive and can be obtained like Plankton says, assuming the filesystem itself is intact. If the firmware on the hard drive went out, you'll probably need to take it to a specialist, who will have to remove the hard drive platter.

Freebase, can you please help me? You are such a sexpert at all of this.

I am having trouble with getting the camera working on my relatively new computer (4 months old). It's not being picked up by ANY software and I rang Samsung who told me it's most like a software issue. They suggested I do a refresh on my computer to put it back to when I first bought it. Do you think this is a sensible idea or do you have another idea why no software will pick up my webcam that is part of the laptop?

Is your camera driver up to date? If you look up the make and model of your computer on the manufacturer's website you should be able to find and download all the drivers you need to use the hardware on your computer.
