Submit your main page (index or home page) to as many Search Engines as you can. Every time you browse the Web and come upon a new Search Engine, use it. The best results are if you do it yourself, by hand. It will take time, but it is the only sure way. Even many Web marketing firms will, as part of their service, offer you a submission by hand. Submit only one URL a day (no more than five). Force-feeding your URL's will only get them not listed or even banned. Do not use services of unknown submission Web sites that will offer you automatic submissions to "hundreds" of Search Engines. Their "service" will most likely get your pages banned and it is most often a scam.

Submission to Direcories Tips
Submit your main page (index or home page) to as many Web Directories as you can. Every time you browse the Web and come upon a new Directory, use it. The best results are if you do it yourself. It will take time, but it is the only sure way. Even many Web marketing firms will, as part of their service, offer you a submission by hand.

Many Web Directories will keep your page listed only for some time. From time to time, every six months, resubmit your page. At that time change the Title and Description of your page. Try a new catchier phrases and you may get much better results. You will be surprised at how much difference a new phrase can make in attracting visitors to your site.

When submitting to directories you don't necessarily have to submit your main page. If you have a page with more catchier title like "Free Tips" or "Win a free gift", use it.

Great information, thank you.

I thought I would just supplement this by adding that you really want to make sure that your site is submitted to the following directories for good search engine saturation:

Google
MSN
Yahoo
Inktomi
DMOZ Open Directory
Alexa

Of course, this is a short list of some of the biggies. As mentioned above, it is worth the time and effort to submit your site to as many directories as you can. If your site has podcasts on it, you should also be submitting to podcast directories:

Podcast.net
Podcast Alley
iTunes Podcast Directory

Again, there are many more than this, I am just throwing a few out there. In addition, if your site features a blog, you should go and research sites like:

Technorati
Bloglines

And other sites that feature blog feeds and other blog marketing outlets. Hopefully this helps to supplement the great information above.

You can also put you link in your signature and post ong popular forums. The search engines visit these regularly and it is a good way to build up important links to your site.

Do not use automatic submission programs..

They often charge and are outdated by the time you try to use it.. always best to manually add them.. or if you have multiple sites(some that have already been spidered use links there)

Yes, definitely manual submission is more effective
