submission to Google generally takes a few months

This is not accurate. I have seen pages indexed within a day or two. Once a link to the page is found, or a sitemap is uploaded, the page can be spidered/indexed rather quickly. Ranking, on the otherhand, is a different story. Ok, a little off topic, but it may be important information for anyone starting a website.
