When I do a search to see all of the pages on a specific domain (ie. site:aol.com to see all of the pages on the aol.com domain, how are these prioritized? Is google listing these pages in order of relevancy? If so, relevancy to what? Usually the index page comes up first, but after that, sometimes the order that the pages are listed in don't make sense. Does anyone know anything about this?
From what I know, there's no specific order in the display. Google randomizes the returned URLs so that you can't use it to reverse PR.
it also depends on the link popularity of the page.. since gooogle bots can easily crawl sites if its link to other sites..
