Getting my game to show up sooner in the LFG game List

Hello,  When I do a search for the game I post in the Looking for Group List, it is several pages back when sorted by relevance.  Even if I put in some parameters to the advanced search I am usually on one of the back couple pages even if my game is sooner time wise than the games listed on page one. My question is, What parameters does the website use to sort games by relevance?  How can I get my game to show up earlier on the list and get more eye traffic?  I see Free, Plus and Pro people all littered on the front page so I couldn't find it out myself.   Thanks for your time. 
Apparently, after matching the search criterion, the final list is sorted by join date.  So you'll need to go back in time and join the roll20 site earlier.  Ironically, this whole thing is not a problem for most game systems - only DnD 5e and pathfinder typically have that many games up at once.
Hi Zook, The LFG tool takes many factors into account when creating the list. All of the information is outlined on our wiki in regards to determining order . As Aranador also stated, this also varies greatly with what system you are playing. If it is D&D or Pathfinder there are many  listings meaning that your game might be a few pages in due to sheer volume.
