I have been waiting almost 4 months to a get a site listed on Dmoz, it is very slow nowadays. Once on though, many of the main search engines will find you as they use Dmoz for their own Directory links.

Even if you submit to Google it can take some time beore they visit your site, and when they do, they don't always index straight away.

A way to get things moving is to sign up to Google Sitemaps with a Gmail account. You will need to google for some apps that will create a google compatible site map for you, there are some fre php ones around but I use CoffeeCup Google sitemapper which is not free.

If you have some links coming into you, you will be found when the spiders re-index the sites sending them to you.

Create your site map and upload it, sign up to Google Sitemaps to submit it and away you go, you can then login to your account to keep tabs on how it is going using some of their tools.
