Sure, you want your site to get listed on every search engine. After all, that's where most of the new traffic comes from for many sites. You can find a link to submit your website to a search engine on each of the homepages (Google, Yahoo, and Bing).

Why not? Because whenever you submit your site to a search engine it can take days or even weeks before they get around to actually crawling your site and listing it.

What You Should Do As A Replacement For?

Instead of submitting your site to a search engine, let the search engines find your site naturally. How is this possible? You just make sure that there are links pointing to your site on other sites that repeatedly get crawled by search engine bots. For instance, you can place your link in your signature in a forum. Or else you can comment on a few blogs (you can usually enter a URL in the comment options). One more possibility is to place a link in your facebook account.

To really speed things up, submit one of the pages of your site to a social bookmarking site or link to it from an article on an article directory, then submit your article or your social bookmarking profile page to a ping-list.

Basically, place your link on one or two popular sites. With this method, your site will get indexed by search engines within just a few hours. Just confirm that you don't spam your links anywhere. Add them where it is allowed and where it doesn't annoy anyone.
