AltaVista usually adds a page within a few days. It's best to submit  only a few URLs per day to them, even though they appear to accept as many as you try to feed them. For whatever reason, they just don't seem to index them as quickly if you give them a lot at once. All you need to do is submit your URL.
Reaches over 45 million visitors worldwide and one of the few still offering free submission. However, inclusion - if you are accepted - can take a while. But you can ensure that your site will be placed quickly by opting for their "Express Inclusion" service. For six months, one URL submission will run you $39.00, with 2-10 URL's for an additional $29.00 each.
Altavista also displays Overture's top 4 bid positions at the top of the search results page, under the heading "Products and Services." These listings include descriptions. And Altavista runs more Overture results at the bottom of the page. These are just clickable links without descriptions.

Google is one of our personal favorites. It makes heavy use of link popularity as a primary way to rank web sites. This can be especially helpful in finding good sites in response to general searches such as "cars" and "travel," because users across the web have in essence voted for good sites by linking to them. The system works so well that Google has gained widespread praise for its high relevancy. Google also provides some results to Yahoo, AOL and Netscape Search. Submit only your homepage URL. It will automatically index the entire site.
Still a Net favorite, Google is used more than 150 million times a day for searches. Free submission is still an option. They recently launched their own "Pay Per Click" program, called "Ad Words Select." This allows you to bid on key phrases or words, and when someone searches for those words, your text ad is shown in the right-hand column on the search results page. For more on this go to:
https://adwords.google.com/select/main?cmd=Login
Ad Words Select will cost you 5.00 and a credit card number to get your site enrolled. Google is also the exclusive provider of sponsored links to AOL Search, pulling the sponsored links from its Ad Words Select Program. The top 3 ads will be displayed as sponsored links on AOL.Netscape will begin displaying Google's Ad Words sponsored links come August of 2002

 Inktomi
Provides results to many engines and directories such as Iwon, MSN, Hotbot, and more. Each URL submission will cost you $39.00 per year and only $25.00 a year for each URL thereafter. The benefit of listing with Inktomi is the exposure your site will receive with its search partners.

Once a major player, Excite now resembles more of a Portal since being bought out a few years ago by @home, which subsequently went bankrupt. Search results are now pulled from Overture and Looksmart. As you can no longer submit directly to Excite, if you want to be listed here you'll need to open an account with one of the above to make an appearance.

Hotbot is owned by Lycos and is presently making some changes to their free submission page - how they will affect you remains to be seen. Results on Hotbot also come from Direct Hit and some from Inktomi and the ODP. You can also add your listing here by submitting to Lycos at http://searchservices.lycos.com/searchservices/ You can still submit for free, but you'll have to sign up as a member of Lycos first before they'll let you have the privilege. Hotbot also displays the top 3 results from Overture on their search results page. Some of their listings come from The ODP, Fast Search/AllTheWeb with sponsored listings shown at the top of the search results pages coming from Overture.com.You can submit for free at.... http://searchservices.lycos.com/searchservices/lite_step1.aspor or opt for "Lycos InSite Select" pay submission, with an annual membership fee of $18.00 and annual cost per URL of $12.00. If you go the pay route you are guaranteed inclusion within 48 hours of submission.

Its main listings come from the Open Directory project, and then secondary results come from either Direct Hit or Lycos' own spider. Just follow their simple instructions and don't expect immediate results from your submission. Again, your best bet is to get indexed in the Open Directory project.

Direct Hit is a company that works with other search engines to refine their results. It does this by monitoring what users click on from the results they see. Sites that get clicked on more than others rise higher in Direct Hit's rankings. Thus, the service dubs itself a "popularity engine". Follow their instructions and submit your site.

MSN Search pulls results from Looksmart, then when no more listings are found they pull from Inktomi's database. They also pull some results from Overture.com which they display at the bottom of the page called "Web Pages."
You can't submit directly to MSN; you'll have to submit to Looksmart at http://listings.looksmart.com/?synd=zdd&chan=zddresults to show up here
