    The quickest way to get indexed is to get links from heavily spidered pages and not do anything stupid, like duplicating another site's content.

    Nevdull is absolutely correct, but I will add to it. While quality inbound links are Queen and will get you indexed, content is still King. You must have quality content to place well in SE rankings. So while you may be indexed after following some advice the question really is, will you be found?

    Do you know for sure you haven't been indexed already? If not, I just finished writing an article about checking index stats and I will add it below for all to read.

    Step 1 - Create A Sitemap Of Your Site. Submitting a sitemap is fairly important not only for SE "placement" but for your own information. If you don't already have one set-up or don't know what it is you can find a fairly user friendly one by typing in keywords "Free Sitemap Generator" into the Google SE, that's how I came across it. It is also free and only generates an XML version but Google's search engine traffic is the majority and that's the standard they use. (From what I understand the others are soon to be migrating to this as well, and they already understand the coding either way.)

    Step 2 - Upload Your Sitemap. After generating your new sitemap, you upload it to your main url directory. (In the case of subdomains, the subs main url directory)

    Step 3 - Submitting Your Sitemap. Once completed type in keyword "Google Sitemaps". This will take you to Google Webmaster Sitemaps site, register for free, it will ask you to verify that you are the Webmaster of the site with two options, and then goto the Dashboard. Choose "General Website Sitemap" and then tell Google where your sitemap is located, the default is correct if you followed the above.

    Step 4 - Check Your Rank. In most cases if your site has been around a while it will already tell you when the homepage was last accessed by the Googlebot. Eventually you will have access to various information like top search queries, web positioning, inbound links, errors found, etc. All this information is also free, and can give you a better general understanding of your site and what to improve upon.

    This will tell you whether or not you have been indexed already and answer the above question I had. If you haven't, my recommendation is wide Article Submission. There are a few free Article directorys out there that have great Alexa rankings and will help in you getting spidered. Write a press release type article providing details about your site, why it started, what it's purpose is, what you want to achieve overall from it's existence, and if you offer a product or service, detail that. While writing your "article" use the keywords that you have used in your meta tags for people to find your site on the SEs.

    Hope this helps.

    Post a free small biz ad (or whatever applies) on craigslist.org and place a link in it to your page. Make your post relevant and good so it is not deleted. The major search engine spiders will visit your site shortly afterwards...

    I have indexed websites in a matter of hours. As I read the replies they seem to sum up to two things: buy links or post on forums.

    While I do agree that they will work, they wont get there alone. Your website must be able to communicate with spiders or bots. A complete meta tag setup will do the trick.

    Make sure that you include
    Title - sell a summary of your content
    Description - grab a paragraph from your index or a content page that describes your business
    Keywords - five to 10 words that would help searches find your product/service
    Robot tags - tell the spiders to follow your index page and when they should comeback

    This will ensure that your website get index even if you bought only one link on a pr 0 website. Just make sure that the website is being indexed by Google and MSN regularly.

    content is the king... have a nice blog for your site and start talking about the latest buzz word in your niche... then bookmark your blog entry in some of the social media sites like digg,delecious... I am sure your site will get indexed... and yes keep posting your sites to various directories and keep commenting on blogs (leaving your link) .... and as Betias said take care of the title,description,keywords...

    Good Luck!!

    Indeed. And this example is good because it clears up the common misconception about no follow tags. Craig's List has nofollow tags. Yet, as you point out, if you just put your link there, google will see it and index it. Nofollow tags do not make your link invisible; it just means the link doesn't bleed PR.

    Not sure about 15 min., but if you put a link on a bookmarking site like Redditt, that Redditt page will be indexed in less than half an hour (I seen it with my own eyes). That means your site URL probably isn't far behind. This example only applies to Redditt and some others. I have not noticed this with other major bookmarking sites like delicious.

    This has no bearing on the speed with which your site gets indexed as meta description tags are read only by humans in the SERPS. Robots do not read these.

    I am really new to all this and also interested in getting my blog indexed. However I would like to ask all of you whether the aforesaid procedures valid for blogs too? I mean, what if someone has a blog and wants to get it indexed asap. Please correct me if I am wrong.
    regards.

    just place your link at the web page which is already indexed by Google and is in regular indexing.

    Get a link from a page which is in the google index and which gets indexed reasonably often.

    I have debated this with many SEO gurus, and remain unconvinced that the theory is correct.

    If it not read by the spiders why is it shown in the indexed information?

    While I agree that this is written for humans, I still maintain that it is read by spiders and robots.

    That would mean that Matt Cutts and the search companies themselves are lying, which I suppose is possible, in the same way that they may be lying about the actual impact of no-follow.
