However, if someone is searching Google for: "San Luis Obispo" large format printers, they will get over 100,000 results on Google. The BIG Images web domain doesn't show up in the Top 20 results (it happens to be 21st), but the Centiare page shows up 4th!

Why would anyone say, "Well, I have my own web page, and if it comes up 21st in some searches, I'll just have to live with that. I don't want a link that comes up 4th, if it's not to my home page."?
