MSN search, owned by Microsoft, is the up and comer to Google's search domination. More and more traffic for your web site will be dependent on your website being indexed and optimized for the MSN spider. Free submission is available to MSN but your site is best indexed as it is crawled from another indexed web site. Watch for new advertising options to be unveiled. Optimization is specific for MSN Search which will force you to create specific pages for the MSN Search results.

The DMOZ Open Directory Project is a free resource to list your website. Maintained by volunteers, results are posted in countless websites besides at dmoz.com (and other variations) and can drive traffic to your website. Because the editors are volunteers your submission could take a while to be added to the directory. As long as you have followed the submission policy to the letter, you should be listed within 2 months. Free to submit and be listed but you'll pay in sweat waiting to see if you pass final muster. Browse the ODP to find the best category to submit your website in before you submit. Many people choose a "close second" category and do not get listed. If you find a category that you'd like to be an editor of submissions in, follow the link provided on the page. The ODP is also used by the Google Directory. Although the website listings are different, Google uses their PageRank system to determine position of websites in the directory, the sites that are listed and ranked have first been approved by the OPD editors.
Do not submit more than 1 page from your website (home page) unless you have substantially varying subject matter. Allow a minimum of 4 months before resubmitting your website if not listed (think redesign).

The websites that you submit are tracked for quality and comments by the users of the Zeal.com directory.

Teoma uses Subject-Specific Popularity. Subject-Specific Popularity ranks a site based on the number of same-subject pages that reference it, not just general popularity. In a test performed by respected industry publication Search Engine Watch, Teoma's relevance grade was raised to an "A" following the integration of Teoma 2.0. In addition to utilizing existing search techniques, Teoma applies authority, a new measure of relevance, to deliver authoritative search results. To determine the level of authority associated with a particular site, Teoma employs three proprietary techniques: Refine, Results and Resources.
There is no site submission to get listed. The Teoma spider follows links and you'll get listed when your site is highly relevant in it's subject/topic. Search for sites that are listed and trade links.
