Now that your site is built properly, it is time to submit it to be indexed. One common approach is the use of automated submission software, which is not a good idea and instead I suggest performing manual submissions. Below are links to the major search engines that you should submit to.
It could take anywhere from one to six weeks before you get indexed, but if you trade links with other sites it will speed it up. You can join Linkexchangeit.com to trade links with other webmasters for free.

Google is the most powerful search engine out there because so many other search engine use Google’s index like AOL.
MSN uses Yahoo’s index, so you might want to skip this and go to Yahoos.
