The Secret To Getting Listed In Google In Under 24 Hours

You may or may not have heard people claim they can get listed in Google in only 24 hours. It seems that nearly 100% of the people you run across in forums act like in order to get indexed by Google in 24 hours is some miracle feat that can only be accomplished by doing some "top secret" marketing tactic or advanced optimization strategy.
Well, the truth of the matter is...Getting listed in Google in under a day is quite easy!
First, let's define what "getting indexed by Google" means... Let's say that you create a brand new website. For our purposes, we'll call it www.bradcallenscoolwebsite.com If we go to Google and enter: www.bradcallenscoolwebsite.com into the search box, we'll see that no results are returned. See below:

The reason no results appear is because our website is new and it's not "in Google's index" yet. If you're not in their index, your site can't be ranked by them because they don't know your site exists... So, in order to rank in Google, you must first get into their index. Once your website is in there index and you do a search like we did above, you'll see the screen below:

Notice your website title, description, and URL now appear... This website has been indexed by Google.
Ok, now that we've got that out of the way, let's talk about what NOT to do when trying to get indexed by Google. This drives me absolutely crazy when I see people doing this, and is actually what I did at one time as well. The following URL might look familiar to you: http://www.google.com/addurl.html

This is Google's actual website submission form. They state that you can use this form to submit your website to their index of websites and it can take up to 6 weeks for your website to be placed into their index. I don't know about you, but 4 weeks is a heck of a long time to just wait for your website to be placed in their index rotation, let alone get a top ranking!
