Many search engines have forms set up to quickly and easily add your sites to their directories. Promoting your pages starts with being listed.
All the Web

AllSmallBiz
A search engine for the small business community. They will only add sites that are relevant to small businesses.
AOL Search
Get your site added to the AOL search engine. It uses the Open Directory Project, so your submission will be evaluated by a volunteer.
Bridal Clicks
While it isn't free to add your site to this listing, if you have a Wedding related Web site, you might want to be listed here.

Netscape Search

Open Directory

The Open Grid
The Open Grid is an index where in order to be added you have to join the network and rate at least 5 other sites in the network. The idea is that anyone who can search for things in a directory should be able to add things to it and comment on what's in it. So, once you've registered and reviewed at least 5 other sites listed in the directory, you can then add your own site.
WhatUSeek
Get your Web site into a search engine with many results and lots of information.
Yahoo
A little bit different, Yahoo has editors who review every submission. Make sure you follow the instructions to the letter.
