I think submitting websites to search engines is almost entirely a waste of time. More important activities are:

Write articles regularly, submitting to articles directories (weekly activity)

Write Press releases using keywords in your title to www.prweb.com (do at least 1 per month)

Create a blog and update it with your URL in it (2 -3 times a week)

Get 1 way links from submitting your website to directories, in fact I can not live without www.directory-submitter.com software. It gives you over 800 places to get one way links from. After I submit my home page, I go back and submit my main sub-pages as well.

Create a video promoting something you are selling and submit to Google Video and www.youtube.com

Write a report and sell it on eBay with master reprint rights so other people on sell it too

Create a reason for people to pass your website on, such as using tell a friend scripts .

Be prepared to do constant activities like these that get you links. Do not forget PPC (pay per click) search engines such as Google Adwords,Bing and Yahoo’s Overture programs. This will also get you into the search engines.
