First of all, don't fall for any of the "Click here to submit
your website to 10 Billion search engines!" offers. At best,
you'll simply lose your money.
[Denise's note: At worst, you may get banned from the big search
engines for participating in free-for-all links, or for multiple
submissions.]
Next, get some high quality links into your site from other sites,
which will let the major search engines "find" your
site on their own. This method is by far faster (and you'll get
higher rankings) than submitting. You NEVER need to submit a site
to Google.
Next, submit your site to the major directories, starting with
the Open Directory Project (www.dmoz.org).
Finally, seek out smaller niche search engines and manually submit
your URL (Re-read the first paragraph).
