You should get a sitemap and index it in webmaster tool. Then do some facebook, twitter, google plus marketing. It might help your page getting visitors.
The thing is you have to optimize keywords related to your blog it may have competition as well, so you have to face competition too.
NEVER ping your MAIN website. If any of your pages is indexed, this could lead to a total DE-index of your entire website and then you should sometimes wait some DAYS to get it back... A better solution would be just to build some backlinks or use any Social media website (Facebook, twitter, etc)
Hello! The best method to get indexed in less than an hour is to submit your site to social bookmarks. I attach here a free list of top 100 social bookmarking sites. You may submit at least at 10-20 and get indexed very fast may be in less than an hour.
I think blog can be easily get index if we share it on our social sites account and mention them at their. Like if you share your account on Facebook, twitter, linkedin etc.
