Most people think that once they build a web site all they have to do is submit their site in the search engines and they will get website hits. Well, that is only the first step. There are five basic things a web site owner can do to get hits.

1) Search Engine Submission - Make sure to submit your site to the search engines. Beware of submittal services that advertise that they can submit your site to thousands of search engines. Most of them use automated submittal programs and point the submittals back to your email address. It is against the Google terms of service to use an automated submittal tool.
