Google probably lightened up a bit and let my stuff go back OR my changes to the site finally let a little light leak in. I added a contact page and policy page and made links etc to all of that with some wordage on each page about why and who we are. $10 minimums went to $1.
Now the bad news. I did this about 3-4 months ago. So did my changes work or did Google just lighten up... who knows?
