Do social bookmarking as much as possible like delicious diggit etc Post a do follow comment on busy blog .... to check rather a blog is busy or not just install google toolbar enable page rank tool in bar and when you open blog then check it cache if Google cached it on current date then its busies blog now check if they highlight new comments on side panel . Another way is to make a word press blog and in blog tags select high PR tags like business internet etc another way is go to pr7 Wikipedia article and post a link if you lucky they didn't delete your link within 1 hour you will be noticed by google immediately another way is little hard but effective that is to put your website in pr 7 or above website thats the best way to index your website in google fast Regards D Najmi
I've never really had to wait more than a few hours on any website using the sitemap. Even with 2 new sites I launched in the last two weeks with 1-day old domains.
Depends on how many backlinks you have and the quantity of them, it normally ranges from 3 to 10 days to me.
For me, it generally takes around one to two hours due to the age of our blog. It really depends on the age of your site and the number of backlinks it has.
