      I'm just starting my link building campaign in earnest, and received my first good quality inbound link less than an hour ago.

      My initial thought was that I should go directly to google, and ask them to reindex the page that linked to me...

      If I make a habit of that (getting a new link, then submitting that page directly to google), would that signify to google that this might not be a natural link building campaign?

      The links are from legitimate (non-paid, non-exchange) partners, which google could probably figure out, but I'm interested to know opinions on this.

      Thanks,

      -Eric

        Eric,

        I understand how it feels to get that first great link. Don't reindex or resubmit sitemap. Here is a little trick...

        Go into webmaster tools and the 3rd or 4th button on the left going down is CRAWL. Click that and the third item on the dropdown is Fetch as Google. (You are going to use it for getting the page crawled, but that is not the original intent for this tool.) 
        Click Fetch as Google and put the URL of the page in. IF the page is your home page, leave blank and then hit fetch. That should get it crawled fairly quickly. 
        Note. This does not mean it will show up in links to your site in the next few days or even weeks. I have seen it take two months to get a link to show in GWMT.

        Hope this helps, good luck as you go forward.

        Edit: Sorry click Fetch and Render then click Index. Forgot about this.

        Robert
