There are many different ways to submit your site in the top Search Engines. The main search engines you would want to definitely be listed in are:
Google | Yahoo! | Lycos | AOL | Ask | Excite | MSN | Altavista | Overture.
Some great options I would encourage would be:
Free – AddMe – Search Engine Optimization 
$19.99 – Traffic Blazer
Traffic Blazer $19.99/yr Starting Price
Most Web site traffic and online purchases come from search engines like Google®, Yahoo!® and MSN®. Get your share of Internet business with Traffic Blazer®. Promote your business online, increase your online visibility and make money on the internet…in a few simple steps! NO technical expertise is necessary. If you can type and click, you can use Traffic Blazer!
Or you could go for a software solution. This is going to cost a bit more, however, you need to know ahead of time that your automated solutions won’t help when it comes to adding your site to dmoz. This directory requires you to add your site manually.
And one more note before I leave you to jump in to promoting your site. Don’t OVER PROMOTE! If you are using Addme.com, don’t do it more than once a month. If you do it more often than every 30 days, you will hurt your listing.
One more great link that is just a bit different, however it could help you get your blog posts listed, try: pingoat. This site can ping all the major engines that would list your blog. My ONLY encouragement is that you should only ping your blog when you’ve added new content.
Well. Enjoy!
