What's the best way to submit your website to a bunch of search engines?

I would also say hand submiting is the best way. That way you know it gets done the right way.

If you do a search on google there are a bunch of site submitters that will do ti for you to a bunch of places. Also if your host has Cpanel there is a search engine submit tool in there.

I've never submitted any of my sites to the search engine's or directories, but they manage to rank quite highly anywho.
I'm just lazy really.

mass submitting is a no-no and most search engines will blacklist your site..
just have a site that is useful and unique and let it sit for about a month |

I think it depends on what you want users to search for. If you your site to show up for searches on related content, then put keywords in titles and stuff like that. If you want people to see your site when searching for stuff similar to your site's name, then use that.
Examples:
Google search for "mod shack" (My old URL still remains #1  Does anyone know how to fix that?)
Google search for "vice city modifications" (Argh, still old address shows up)
That's just how Google does stuff. I'm not sure about others. I think Google does the ranking by keyword strength / relativity.

I believe you can send a permanent redirect header (301) from your old location. If you can run PHP, you can create index.php containing the following:
| Code: |
<?php
header("HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently");
header("Location: http://www.example.org");
exit();
?> |
This will tell Googlebot to go directly to your new URL the next time.
