We should target all major search engine (Google, Bing & Yahoo). Here is the synopsis of strategy which should be used to put both the website in search engine within 24 hours. Apart from Onpage SEO optimization like meta tags, meta keywords, meta description and On site SEO (Noindex, nofollow) robots.txt, sitemap main strategy was, to put the website in search engines in few hours. Well, before you try to index a website (new), make sure you have your content (8-10 posts; pages like Contact us, About us, Privacy Policy) ready. As you don't want Google bot to come and just crawl your empty homepage. As I mentioned above, make sure you do all basic On site SEO and then work on the below method to get your site indexed fast.Guide to Index a Website in Google within hours of time
This strategy should work with all websites as we will be using external sites to send crawler on our site. Though, it all depends how fast Google update the new indexed pages, or if you are doing this for your client, you might like to check index status in all countries to check for data replication delay.Submission to Blog networks
We talk about blog directories and blog networks and most of SEO expert think they were the things of the past, but it's not that true. Even today it works. But like old time, you should not submit your blog to every blog network. Instead submit your blog to selected blog network and directories. Avoid link exchange blog directories!. Here are 2-3 Blog directories/network Which I prefer and suggest to my readers : Technorati is one of the biggest blog directory in the world. By submitting your site in Technorati, you not only boosting your site reputation but also it will help to get your site indexed fast. This is one of the best blog networks.Use Webmaster Tools
Sign up for the following Webmaster Tools:- Google Webmasters, you need to have a google account.
- Bing Webmasters, you will need a hotmail account.
- Yahoo Webmaster tools, you will require a yahoo account.
Sitemap Submission
Sitemap is created to help search engine crawler to effectively crawl your blog. You can create sitemap by help of plugin, Google XML Sitemaps, or you can create it online and upload it to your cpanel. Make sure you have created your or client sitemap. Now submit sitemap to Google/ Bing/ Yahoo / Ask and popular search engine you can think of.Commenting Dofollow/Comment luv
Since it was a paid job and had to get it done within given time frame. I added almost 30+ comments for both the blog on comment luv blog. I didn't checked for dofollow or nofollow attribute. But what I did was, commented on popular and high traffic blogs. This confirmed that search engine bots will follow the comment link and will land into my blog.Popular website Stats program
How many of you know about Websites which keep stats of domain or show the price and value of any domain. This is a nice way to get your site indexed. Though submitting to multiple stats site is not easy and we can use free tools like IMT website submitter. All you need to add link and anchor text and IMT submitter will submit your site to sites like who.is, "website stats" and other such sites.Social Bookmarking submission
This is another method which is very effective. You can go for Digg, StumbleUpon, Twitter, Delicious etc.Web Directories
I'll go ahead and warn you that there are myriad directories on the web, but not all of them necessarily good. Do some online research first and submit your site in selected directories.Guest posting
If you budget is high or you have patience, prepare 5-10 quality posts and ask your fellow blogger on the same niche to publish on their blog as guest author and enjoy the backlinks. If you doing it for a client, buy 5-10 articles and do the same. Along with backlink it will also help to get some traffic for your blog. Try to guest post on popular , high page rank and regularly updated website.Ping Services
Ping services are another one great effective way to notify search engine for your existence. Pingomatic is one such tool which you can use to notify multiple service at once. Though WordPress has default feature to ping services, but giving it a shot for the first time won't hurt. Another one which you can try out is Pingler. If you are using WordPress, you should check out : WordPress ping services.Submit your content to social media sites
Registering an account on social media sites with the same username as your blog's URL is very effective in getting your blog indexed by search engines, especially for those targeted keywords.- For example, if your blog's name is EminentYouth, it's a good practice to register the same username at twitter as @eminentyouth1, and to create a page in Facebook as EminentYouth. Having a consistent keyword-username on all major social media sites will help get your blog indexed faster, and at a later stage it will also help build a "brand" for your blog.
- Get an account on major social sites, namely: Twitter, Facebook (create a page for your blog), Digg, StumbleUpon, Delicious, Digg etc. By the way, it's a good practice to create a separate social site's account for each of your projects.
Permalinks
If your website is new or you haven't changed permalinks of your blog, then change the permalinks of your site. Read:- How to Change Permalinks and What to do after Installing Wordpress?

I also suggest you to create a profile on Google+ and a Google+ Page and add your website link or share your link publicly. This will also be very helpful, as Google started following Google+ links really fast.
