With respect to the gallery I'm in, I relate to the real estate industry saying that the most important three elements are location, location and location. Then again, there is the issue of visibility on the internet. Google seems to have the best system for reducing search costs, so being visible to that search system is probably up near the top now. Here, I think links, activity and lots of other factors come into play. I suspect the Google formula is like the old Coca Cola formula (or IRS software to find tax evaders).
