another solution to get your website index in minutes us by using AdSense. Just paste AdSense code and refresh the page till ads starts showing, I know many webmasters used this...but now days, you can use Google webmaster tool to upload your sitemap and get you pages indexed.
i'm still new to a lot of this and i know i'm very late on this thread, but i had a question about this: let's say links aren't spammed but voluntarily placed by myspace account holders. what if i asked my friends and they asked their friends and they asked their friends, would google not take that into consideration when it comes to link placement? i am a little familiar with follow/no-follow, are links on myspace considered no-follow? you can laugh if you want (i'm new) -dan

Nice article. I was just wondering on how to get my Squidoo page indexed fast. Maybe I should next link it up from my PR5 blog.
