Submit Carefully

Often slightly overrated, submitting a site to directories and search engines can be useful, especially if the site is new and hasn't already been picked up by Google and others. Go ahead and submit it to Google. It won't hurt, but most likely Google will find you anyway.

Two directories that may be worth submitting to are Yahoo! Directory and the Open Directory Project. Be patient - it will probably take several weeks for your submissions to be processed, unless you pay for them to list you.
