Is there any other stuff I should do so that the site can be indexed as soon as possible when the launch is ready? Is there anything I should be careful about (the link is on a separate class C)?



Thanks for any advice.

You should also build some high Pagerank and high authority backlinks. It will help your site to be indexed quickly

You should begin by planning your SEO Plan. Analyze your competitors, what keywords are you going to target, checking the trends, keeping updated with new google updates, etc.

You should definitely start formulating an SEO plan now so that when your site goes live you aren't overwhelmed. Come up with a list of blogs to comment on, and start building relationships with popular ones. Get familiar with Google Analytics and Adwords. Continue to post here. And so on.

I launched a new site last week, and it was indexed within a couple of days. Just go to Google Webmaster Tools and ask it to fetch your site. If it finds it ok you will have the option to submit it to the index. It worked very well for me.
