What it means is that new pages that deserve to be ranked for a term get ranked almost immediately

but how do they rank them? these pages will have next to no backlinks, and there won't be much data from user behaviour either. it will probably just boil down to the old 'authority' thing. the sites at the top of the SERPs will carry on getting their new pages ranked, because they are the ones with authority.
