Google Indexing Surprise of New Sites - Getting to #1 in Two Weeks

Google seems to have started indexing new sites quickly, perhaps in response to greater emphasis on real time search. Doug Lindstrom, developer of Northern Colorado Breaking News noticed how quickly PHX Housing News, a site up only two weeks, now ranks well on Google juice for a variety of terms, including Anthem Housing News (showing up #1) and Tempe Housing News (showing up #5).



Since we're not purposely optimizing the sites for search, we're wondering whether the Wordpress blog platform is a natural SEO/SEM platform for Breaking News. Second, Search Engine Land has confirmed using URL shortener bit.ly's analytics that Google undercounts visitors entering websites via Twitter links by 500%-1,600%. If Google fixes this so Twitter links are recognized, Twitter feed-based Breaking News sites would even have higher Google profile.
