My site is just a personal site, so it basically just consists of a journal, photoblog, and list of little projects I'm working on. I've only had this one up for a month, so the ranking isn't very good yet. Your page rankings take time to build up.

It gets spidered so much because whenever I update the journal, I have it ping a number of blog specific sites to let them know that my journal has been recently updated (this is only an option if you have a journal/weblog). This gets me a great deal of traffic from these sites, which interests the spiders.

Links help a lot, especially coming from sites that have content specializing in an area like your own. If you're having trouble getting people to link to you, you can try talking to other webmasters and see if you can have a link exchange or something.

Though sites that will exchange a link with you normally aren't sites that will help much. It's high traffic sites that google and the other bots like. Sites that produce a lot of incoming traffic. The best way to get one of these links is to talk about or do something impressive enough to have others notice you.
