Er, the search request is simply site:sitedomain.com. Index is going to come up first every time when you do that, but I'm asking if the order of pages that come AFTER that has any pattern.
My index page is much higher than anything else for the primary keyword (wordA for reference sake). The 2nd page coming up is ranking highly for its term (which is wordB wordA). Other pages are ranking fine too but the most traffic besides the index page is coming from that 2nd page's ranking, and my conjecture was that perhaps they order the pages from that query by overall weight/authority, which is basically what pagerank is supposed to be.
But I'm not really into SEO so wanted to see if someone who knows more may know for sure if there's any pattern to the order the site's pages come up for site:sitedomain.com.
Edit: One thing I notice is that it seems if it's done on a site like GFY, recent threads will come up. So I guess wouldn't be in order of simply pagerank/juice a page has. It would seem Google is trying to put more emphasis on recent or oft-updated pages, which makes sense since that's how Twitter search has gotten so popular.
