You know, Google does return results by relevancy as well. So if a new site comes up with great relevancy, it will still show up in the top of the list. However, it will not come up if there are already several other sites with good relevancy and good popularity. But why should it? Wouldn't you prefer the more popular site? In my experience, I have not had any problems getting new sites showing up on Google with relevant searches.
