Submit your URL to many major directories at once

I should have shown this a while ago but oh well. This site lets you submit your URL to Google, Yahoo, MSN Live, and many other search engines and directories for free, and is very simple to use. SubmitExpress

Only submit once. This is not a very important tool but it will get your site indexed fairly quickly if it is not already. If you cannot find your site for any of your keywords in Google, this may help you get there a little bit.

Backlinking is the way to go to get higher pagerank in Google though, so don't think this is a substitute for that. In fact it pales in comparison. The only purpose of this is to get your site indexed in the major search engines if it is not already.
