Some site seem to be able to get their new content indexed within hours whereas others it can take a day. You can speed up the process using social bookmarking. I also find that by simply subscribing to my own feed through Google seems to speed up indexing. In this case, Huffington Post may well have been indexed first - anything Google finds is then secondary. It pays to link back to your own site when you first publish, even if you take that link out later. les I think another issue is often in the speed that a page is indexed.

In that older websites will almost always get a higher ranking even if their content hasn't been updated. This makes it difficult for new sites with up to date info to get traffic. It seems that Google's algorithm can be used by companies to find which sites are guilty of copyright infringement which could be a benefit in the short term.
