    simple answer is YES

    put some content onthe site, add it to webmaster tools and wait - there are obviously easy way to quicken the proccess. but you do not need backlinks

    Yes it can but the process would be very slow. So its the advice increase backlinks. Add your website in social bookmarking websites. Dnt forget to add your website in digg, facebook, stumbleupon.

    Yeah of course it can, it obviously helps/speeds up indexing if your website does have backlinks.

    Try submitting a sitemap into Google Webmaster tools.

    Yup!

    No need for any backlinks just to get indexed in Google...

    Backlinks are used for other purposes, such as ranking a site, but there's a lot more to ranking a site than just backlinks.

    Yes if you submit it to Webmaster Tools. But if you want to achieve any kind of visibility your going to need links.

    The content will be indexed for sure but the large index page increasing does not mean traffic increasing. The traffic resources and the customer feeling about the site are the most important thing for one site, also it is the most difficult thing to do.

    The answer is YES. The first time Google indexed my site is 0 backlink. Just put some content, submit your site to Google and wait. Your site will be indexed.

    Yes.

    1) As mentioned above, submit your site through Google Webmaster Tools.

    2) Also, if you happen to have a Google "custom search" box on your home page, go to your "settings" in Google Custom Search, click Control Panel > Indexing, and you will see some options for submitting a page(s) for indexing.

    Yes, Google indexed site has zero backlinks. Submit xml sitemap, do bookmarking and other off page strategies for indexing fast.

    yes,
    create a new blog on blogger
    write two posts with unique content
    Do nothing
    after two weeks search for your own unique content (copy paste few lines) you will find your blog is indexed.

    backlinks and google index are two different things, you can get indexed by google by submitting your sitemap as others mentioned, use google webmaster tool :)
