Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thanks for both of your suggestions.  G+ seems so obvious I'm embarrassed I neglected it.

Digg is something I've heard about before, and again more recently since getting into SEO, but don't know much about. I'll definitely look into it.

Thanks for the quick responses.

I know this probably won't matter much to people who get crawled on a regular basis, but for those of us who don't, does promoting a new page on social media help it get indexed faster with google?

My site rarely gets crawled, but I've recently been adding new content.  When I add new content I started to promote it on facebook/twitter and I do get minimal traffic from it.  I noticed that a couple of the pages seem to be indexing quicker than pages normally do for me, although I'm not sure if it's because I recently migrated to WP or what..?

I know T/FB are no follow sites, but is there a chance that promoting a page may contribute to the pages getting indexed?

Thanks for any insight you can shed on the matter. It's more for curiosities sake than anything else.
