I recommend you don't submit to search engines

One common mistake a webmaster with a brand new website should avoid doing in my opinion is to submit to search engines. Admittedly there is some debate about that. There are a couple of reasons why I'm taking this side of the issue. First of all it can take weeks before the search engines will send their spiders to crawl your pages. Most people would like to get listed quicker than that. Secondly search engines will likely see your site of lesser value if you submit to them and probably not index it as well. It is understandable to want to get a search engine listing fast but search engine submission is not the way to do it.

The way to get a new site listed fast in search engines is to get a small handfull of links from other websites that have a lot of link popularity. The reason I say only a handfull of links is because any new website that has a lot of links appears unnatural and spammy to Google and will likely get it penalized. In the next post I will cover exactly how to do this to get listed fast and how to make the linking look natural so you won't have to worry about penalties.
