Getting your site indexed in days instead of months is the trend now.
If your not up on it, which I see some still aren't here at the forum, I suggest you read the following article/page:

In a word: blogs.
To get your site indexed quickly (in a week or so) you need get a link from somewhere you know already gets spidered regularly, right?
But what you may not know is that somewhere is a place that you can create instantly and actually cause to be spidered. (which is nice).
That somewhere is a blog.
Blogs that link back to your site are announced by "pinging" blog directories. These directories are spidered frequently by the major search engines and when pinged by you, will add your blog url to their directory.
When the spiders come-a-knockin, you will be found, and you will notice within a few days on your stats that Googlebot, MSNbot or InkomiSlurp has graced you with there presence.
Blogs are a much more transient media than websites. The advent of syndicated feeds has sped up the game to daily and even hourly updates of news, and all information categories.
The three big players, Google, Yahoo and MSN fight to keep up with these changes and actually compete between each other to index the latest updates in all categories first.
When you use this technique, you are effectively leveraging the fact they are competing with each other and don't want to be left out of what's new and what's hot.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Now, while this will get your traffic going in much less time than "submit URL's" to search engines (which I think actually causes it to take longer than not submitting it), this does not take the place of getting links to your sites (preferably high
PR ones) which in the long term will maintain your traffic levels.
And, I ask all those who know this or who are learning this for the first time to 1. don't spread it around to everyone you know- keep it quiet and 2. don't abuse this technique.
Blog and Ping is not new- and Google, Blogger, Yahoo already know the game. So play it, but play it smart. It works, but if you blog and ping too many times in a 24 hour period you may loose your blog/get banned from your account (it happened to me, so I speak from experience).
If you read my blog post-Just Released: RSS2Blog (RSS to Blog) Pro Version.
I have bought and tested a tool recently which automates the Blog and Ping process very well. I have some samples in there that you can look at as well. You will see my blogs link back to my websites.
If you are interested in purchasing this tool, you can. It allows you to set it and forget it. You will be invited to join a forum and community (that I belong to) that is using it right now to create automated blogs to both index their sites quickly, and monetize their blogs directly. I learned a lot from them. Here is a shortcut to my blog-it's a bit long, but a good read:

I do recommend it for those who are already somewhat familiar with at least, setting up a blog. And now you don't have to pay someone else to do it.
Write me if you have any questions.
Much Success. I hope this helps.
