Search Engines - The all-in-one thread on where to submit

Since there isn't a pinned topic yet on search engines and their submission pages, I figured we could turn this into one.

Please post in this thread names of worthwhile search engines and links to their site submission pages, and if possible, give an idea of their popularity, and any other relevant data. I'll add the names and links to this post once posted.

Below, all the places where you should get yourself listed.



Google
http://www.google.com/addurl/?continue=/addurl
Calls for little explanation, we all know Google. According to comScore Media Metrix, Google's share of the search pie in the US in June 2005 was 36.5%.

Yahoo
http://submit.search.yahoo.com/free/request
The second runner up that has since its arrival on the search engine market swallowed other well-known engines such as Altavista, AllTheWeb and Overture. Share 30.5%. Also remember the Yahoo Directory, listings are free for non-commercial sites.

MSN
http://beta.search.msn.co.uk/docs/submit.aspx
With 15.5% of the market, MSN offers its search throughout its portals and is likely around to stay for good, if the recent talks about increased emphasis on search technology are an indication.

AOL
Help me out here with the URL?
AOL has 9.9% of the pie, their results are featured at Teoma, Ask Jeeves, Excite and a bunch of others across the network.

Dmoz - Open Directory
http://dmoz.org/add.html
The famous biggest human maintained directory of all. Find your category and submit your site. Google, Altavista and AOL among others use their index for providing results. Not a search engine as such, but a major search engine resource.

This post lists a bunch of additional search engines and directories where you may submit your sites if you're in the mood to do so. If you don't, you probably won't miss out on too much traffic, but hey - even that 0.01% of one billion people online is still a whole lot of people.
