I've never bothered to look. Submitting your site to search engines is a rather pointless pursuit. It's not going to do anything to help. The best thing to do is get links pointing to your site as I'm sure you already have and let them find you.

Sorry I don't know where to submit on their sites, but it's really not worth the time submitting to them or trying to find out where to submit to them.

AOL results come from Google (Organic and Adwords)

Lycos results come from ASK and Google Adwords

Yep. Well said. Don't waste your time submitting to search engines. Any good and decent search engines will find you if you link to good sites. Your time is better spend on working on link building.

Read Popular Search Engines, there are submit url for most search engines. But if you have backlinks. you don't need to manually submit to SEs.

Newbie help. Do forum signatures count as backlinks? ie. i've posted over 1000 posts in a particular (public) forum and i'm pretty sure if I add my URL to my signature there, it will show up on all my backposts aswell. Or would that count as only one backlink?

Who knows?

Forum signatures shouldn't be treated as a method of gaining backlinks, it can be useful for gaining visitors, provided your posts are useful and informative.

So what do these companies do that guarantee "You will be on Google within xx days"? Nothing more than back-link generation and going through the same public methods that everyone has at their disposal?
