I disabled the backlink_factor and set it to zero.
for whatever reason, it was giving much higher ranking to pages that I did not want to show up as high as they did, and cause pages I wanted to show up at the top, to be way down (unless I used keyword factor of a 1000 or more, and still the pages showed up below tenth position)
Once I disabled backlink_factor, I now seem to have much better control over page ranking and placement using the other factors (keywords,meta,heading,title,etc.), and of course putting appropriate Meta tags, Title, heading, etc., in the documents themselves...

I found that pages named drama.html and business.html always came up in either the first or second position. Perhaps you already implemented a solution?
I tried the same search phrases on Google, and each time, the desired page showed up on top.
"drama hour" and "business hour" are the two phrases I am using.
drama.html have "drama hour" all over the page, title, image alt tags, H1, meta etc. but comes up in 13 position on HtDig
I thought that HtDig gives higher ranking to pages which are linked to by the text of the links. therefor, drama.html should be ranked higher since all navigation links contains "drama hour"...
business.html have the generic (common) title, and meta tags, and comes up in 10th position on HtDig...
What am I doing wrong?
