Hello Mns7bays ~
Here's what Google says in its "How Do I Get My Site Listed on
Google?" about the best way to be listed:
"The best way to ensure Google finds your site is for your
page to be linked from lots of pages on other sites.
Google's robots jump from page to page on the Web via
hyperlinks, so the more sites that link to you, the more
likely it is that we'll find you quickly."

Most of the other search engines work the same way, "finding" your
site through other site's links to your site.
However, if you want to manually submit your site to the major search
engines, I have given you information below.
==============================
Manually submitting your site
==============================
Some search engines gather their own listings for the main results
they display. For example, Google crawls the web itself for the main
results it shows.
Other search engines use third-party search providers for their
results. For instance, the main search results at AOL come from
Google's crawler-based listings, rather than from work inside AOL.
Nielsen Net Ratings - http://www.nielsen-netratings.com/ - lists those
below, and that will get you started.
* Google -
- ://www.google.com/addurl.html
* DMOZ -
- http://dmoz.org/add.html
* All The Web -
- http://addurl.alltheweb.com/add_url
* Alta Vista
- http://addurl.altavista.com/
* Hotbot & Lycos InSite (requires registration)
- http://insite.lycos.com/searchservices/
* Yahoo! -
- http://docs.yahoo.com/info/suggest/
* Teoma -

MSN's search submit is located here:
- http://search.msn.com/
which takes you to LookSmart, a "for-pay" listing, and can be found
here:
- http://listings.looksmart.com/?synd=zdd&sid=prt100933&chan=zddresults
Just a logical observation: If you are listed on other important
engines, it is pretty certain you will also be listed on MSN.com, or
you can use the LookSmart submission.
=====================================
A Word of Warning -
Don't use site submission software
=====================================
Google warns about using unauthorized software to try to submit your
site in its "Quality Guidelines - Basic principles":
"Don't use unauthorized computer programs to submit pages,
check rankings, etc. Such programs consume computing
resources and violate our terms of service. Google does
not recommend the use of products such as WebPosition
Gold™ that send automatic or programmatic queries to Google."
- ://www.google.com/webmasters/guidelines.html
So be sure to use the links above and submit your site manually.
Search technology
=================
In this case, I used bookmarked pages and information used on a
regular basis for submitting sites to search engines.
In addition, I relied on the latest information available from
Webmaster World in general -
- http://www.webmasterworld.com
And Webmaster World's Google News, in particular -
- http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum3/
Good luck with submitting your site to the search engines!
