What is the fastest way to get a new site indexed by the major search engines.
Submit to google, yahoo and msn the old fashioned way if you are on a budget. Buy links if you want a bit of a boost. Pay for their(search engines) quick index if you are antsy.
But we have never had a problem getting our own sites indexed by simply submitting them to the majors for free. Don't forget any sitemap features that they might include - like google sitemap feature. That way you know not only do they know about your site, they know about each and every page of your site. That is especially helpful for those with dynamic sites, or sloppy code sites that might be tough for a crawler to traverse completely and effectively.
