Credit Report and Scores

I checked my credit report last week and it was at the lowest it's ever been... 580.

Not good.

I checked it again today, (I have alerts set up with Free Credit Report.com) and it was at 586.

What would make it go up six points in a week?

And also, my target score is 720. I know that paying my bills on time will make my score go up higher, but when will I actually SEE the results. I'm all about seeing results to make more progress and keep me motivated.

When I make a payment on time, are there a certain number of points associated with that?
