How to Get Google to Index Your New Website & Blog Quickly

Step by step on how to index your site with Google and Bing. It's really easy too. Don't wait for the search engines to index your site later, get it done ASAP. Yes, they do it automatically, but sometimes it takes too long, so I usually do it manually to speed up the process a little bit. Feel free to PM me or post here with any questions.
