It is essential for a web developer to get his site listed in the major search engines. Over the last 5 years search engine companies have cracked down on webmasters who tried to cheat their way to better se rankings. Less emphasis is now placed on meta tags etc and more emphasis is placed on site content.
Overall, although not perfect, this has improved the search engines algorythm and made sure that dodgy webmasters find it harder to scam their way to the top. In addition, old search engine optimisation techniques like site submitters and free for all sites now damage a sites se ranking and in some cases can get a site banned from the search engines.
Around 85% of all traffic on the web comes from search engines and nearly all of this comes from the major search engines eg. Google, Inktomi, Fast etc. As mentioned before, avoid sites which claim to submit your site to hundreds of thousands of sites/search engines. Most of these sites are free for all sites which will probably lose you traffic through poorer se rankings and search engines that get no traffic anyways. Search engine companies want you to use their forms to submit your site.
