Well building the website correctly to start with helps. I know what your thinking, KP, what does that have to do with getting my site indexed?
Well by that I mean having a site that is not filled with JavaScript, Flash and other types of scripts spiders/bots can't read. Also if your using a shopping cart or PHP as your base language, make sure you mod_rewrite the URL's.
Back links. In my opinion 50 - 60% of SEO. OWG said in another thread, having your site well designed/coded right, you'll need less back links to rank, to which I agree with totally.
I'm one of these people that would rather have 500 RELEVANT BL's rather than 5000 BL's from random sites.
For a new site you'll hear about the dreaded "Google Sandbox" but you know what? I actually LIKE the sandbox.
Why? well, let's say I go get out of the traps good, I accumulate a lot of good back links in a short space of time, I'm bound to flag Google's filter system. No ifs or buts.
Then it gets forwarded onto human review. So let's say I get sanboxed for 6 months, well, depending on what keywords your targeting, it will probably take that long for your natural keywords to kick in and start to show up on SERPS anyways.
Then as soon as Google release you from the sandbox, every single one of them back links you obtained will still be there. Then watch your site rocket up the rankings!!
Blogging. I think we all know about blogging and how powerful of a tool it can be. Guest blogging is a great thing to do as well.
Press Releases. A great way to let the world know about your new site and you'll get the back link from that. If you write it properly and creatively, you stand a chance of having it featured in Google and Yahoo! news.
Loads of stuff to mention!!
