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.

Just scratch the whole search engine submission. If your site is in a lot of directories, it will automatically be added to most search engines.

I agree. I don't understand the point of re-submitting periodicly. If it is already listed, what is the advantage of resubmitting the page?

it will even cost your site to be banned or not listed in the directory.

I have never submitted my site to the search engines. I just develop links from high ranked sites to get my sites indexed quickly by the search engines.

Most people do it for safety purposes.. Just submit it in case search engines didn't manage to index you. Just my 2 cents.

If a major search engine like Google can't find your site it obviously won't get a good ranking when you submit it.

I use Search Engine Submitter's (From People) to submit to Search Engines and i manually submit to Directories, though it gets tiring from copying + pasting.
