Add
your site manually - This will cost you $0
Visit the following search engines / directories
and look for the "add URL" or "add your site"
links. This particular method should not take more than one hour each
month to accomplish.
It was
currently reported that over 90% of internet searches are done at the
following 15 search engines or directories. Yes, there are lots more
out there, but these are the most important to date.
We recommend to anyone that you routinely submit your site
to these search engines once a month in order to maintain your
listing. Doing so will ensure that your website stays listed, is
re-visited by search engine spiders (they will go on to read and index
all of the pages in your site) and give recently updated information
on your site the potential to be found on the internet.

Utilize Doorway
Pages
Doorway pages, also known as entry or bridge pages, are Web
pages designed specifically to rank highly on the unique ranking
algorithms of each search engine. The two best things about using
doorway pages is that they cost far less than other promotional tools
such as banner ads, and they work better when properly designed. There
are two ways to go about creating doorways. You can either do it
yourself or have someone do it for you.
If you decide to do it yourself, be prepared to invest a considerable
amount of time on them - beating the search engine algorithms is not
an easy matter! You should also be prepared to make a number of
doorway pages. You must make one doorway page per keyword or keyword
phrase that you want to be positioned well in. For best results,
depending on your site's subject matter, you should target 10 to 50
keywords and keyword phrases. Usually, a page that ranks well on one
engine may not rank well on other engines. Assuming that you want to
make sure that you are ranked highly on the five top engines
AltaVista, HotBot, Lycos, Infoseek and Excite (Yahoo does not accept
doorway pages), you have to make five versions of each doorway page,
each Optimized for a particular engine.
