How to get index for new site fast

To get index on search engine like Google for new site fast (example: webeyes.blogspot.com)

1. The first one: get many links to your site ( In SEO called backlink). You can ask your friend, colleage to put a link to your site on his site which is already indexed by search engines. You can joint some forums, post some question, talk about thread on that and remember put your site as signature. Create some accounts on social bookmarking site and bookmark it.
