Goto Google Webmaster Tools

--> manage sites--> Sitemaps--> Add Sitemap

Enter the destination to your XML sitemap that you saved from XML-Sitemaps
{ you should have named it something like "sitemap.xml" and saved it to your server as http://your-site-location/sitemap.xml }

After you give Google your new sitemap, they usually crawl it within 24hrs. Indexing is another thing though, that can take a while. That depends on the links you have and the frequency in which you update your site contents.

Doesn't really work like that, better to have 10 strong inbound links rather than 1000 weak links that google ignore.

Also try this in your signature....

Remeber its the anchor text that is the important part.
