How does Stack Overflow work so well with search engines?

To start off I am referencing this old Q: How does Stack Overflow work so well with search engines?

So I just asked this question less than 20 minutes ago: Move all functions to child window

How is it already number one one when I search for it's title on Google?

How in holy bleeps did it get there that fast?

What is behind this? How can I use it to better my sites? Or is this some Stack Exchange secret held only by the demi-gods of the SE?

24 minutes for this question to get google.

The more relevant Google thinks a site is, the more often the bot will come by. Simple as that. I don't think there is any further magic involved. – Pekka Nov 1 '11 at 15:02
See: meta.stackexchange.com/questions/98083/… – Brandon Nov 1 '11 at 15:03
@Brandon thanks.. that is how I got to the related question at the top of my OP. – Naftali aka Neal Nov 1 '11 at 15:04
Really @Pekka? :-P I said i was referencing the old Q which never got a real answer... – Naftali aka Neal Nov 1 '11 at 15:09
Well, then possible duplicate of How does StackOverflow get indexed by Google in such as fast manner? :) – Pekka Nov 1 '11 at 15:17
@Pekka no, that was dupe, i am referencing what it was duping, bc that question still does not have an answer from the powers that be. – Naftali aka Neal Nov 1 '11 at 15:18
But what kind of answer are you expecting? They're doing decent SEO optimization, plus their site is held in high regard by Google. That's probably the biggest part of the recipe. There are bits and pieces of what they do in the Stack Overflow blog and codinghorror.com, but I think most of it boils down to, well, decent SEO – Pekka Nov 1 '11 at 15:20
There was a mention about how Google bots' crawl settings are at the max on one of the blogs, can't find it for now – Sathyajith Bhat Nov 1 '11 at 15:27
@Sathya, you mean this? meta.stackexchange.com/questions/84695/… – Brandon Nov 1 '11 at 15:28

And an old blog post: codinghorror.com/blog/2008/10/the-importance-of-sitemaps.html – Pekka Nov 1 '11 at 16:04
@Brandon bingo, that one! Thanks! – Sathyajith Bhat Nov 1 '11 at 16:09
Whoops Brandon, didn't see you already posted the same link. Sorry. – Pekka Nov 1 '11 at 17:44
