Most search engines have a means to submit a website to them.  Even with 
that it usually takes time before the bots get out to crawl the page and 
add them to the database.  There are companies that will be happy to take 
your money to do it, but there are a number of good tools out there that 
allow you to submit a site to multiple search engines for free.  Check out 
www.tucows.com and look around for search engine submission tools, you 
should find many.

After you get them submitted, you just have to wait, sometimes for a long time.


In liberty,
