Web Directories
One of the best methods of getting your site discovered is by submitting your URL, and it is FREE
Web directories are an excellent place to start submitting your URL. These sites get crawled by the major search engines all the time. Getting your site listed in just a couple of them, could get you listed in other major search engines faster. The more links to your site that are available, the more traffic you will see.
I am listing the directories that I am submitting to below as an example of some very good places to start. All the Directories that I list are free to submit to, but no guarantee that your site will make it to their database. Some want a reciprocal link back to them, and some offer paid listings as well, to guarantee that your site will be listed. It is up to you how you proceed, for me I am going the FREE route for now. I am still working on an advertising budget, when that is finished I may do more paid listings.

Great interface, but submission is not so easy. It is free, but you have to take a little test until you pass it to submit. I liked the test, it taught me some good web etiquette
