Barose,
Last weekend I learned the biggest lesson in life... DO not submit to those web sites, Spammers are getting smarter and using those website submission tools to legally opt you in, into their spam mailing lists.
The last I remember was submitting a form, and before I knew, I was bombarded with thousand and thousands of SPAM. So much of it, I had to end the life span of one of my most used email addresses. Now I`m trying to recover all my critical email and subscriptions since I got rid of that email address.
Another thing. Spamhaus blocked my IP, crippling my business for about 3 days...

The key is not to just submit to any and all directories ... that isn`t beneficial .... submit to the ones that are relevant to your site and it`s topic.

They`re some submission programs for you choose in internet. Most of them are friendly to Search Engine.

Thanks for the advice. I will stay away from them. It sounds too good to be true and a recipe for disaster to boot. My site is already submitted to search engines.  I just need to generate traffic in other ways (seo, continue blogging, etc)

Besides submitting directly to search engines, just getting a couple of inbound links will get them to your site .... like putting links in your signature .... sometimes it`s faster than a direct submission.
