Search engines have a page where you can submit your site

Google http://www.google.com/addurl/
MSN http://search.msn.com.sg/docs/submit.aspx
Yahoo URL submission http://search.yahoo.com/info/submit.html

Be sure to read each of the search engines' webmaster guidelines to make sure that your site is in compliance.

A general timeline would be (assuming you are working diligently at it and are targeting fairly competitive phrases with a new site):

2 - 3 months: MSN rankings secured
4 - 6 months: Yahoo! rankings improving
6 - 8 months: Yahoo! rankings secured and Google improving. Many secondary phrases are attained on Google.
8 - 12 months: Google rankings secured.

Keep working on your site, building great content, getting more backlinks and promoting the site every day.

As for metatags, there are several free tools on the web that you can help create your metatags. One example is http://tools.seobook.com/meta-medic/

You will need to add your metatags between your

htmlheadINSERT METATAGS HERE/html/head

For example, here's the metatags of Target.com htmlheadtitleWelcome to Target/titleMETA name=description content=Expect More, Pay Less at Target.com, the official Target online retail site. Shop the latest in Women, Men, Baby, Kids, Home, Bed+Bath, Furniture, Sports, Toys, Electronics, Health and See All. Check out current deals and promotions, and the Weekly Ad, too./html/head

You don't need to submit web site EVER to search engines so long as you have some incoming web links. They will find you. Get more links if you don't like your rankings as well. Meta descriptions should either be completely removed or written naturally by yourself with about 160 characters. The only purpose of the meta description tag is to give users a snippet to read in the search results.

The major search engines, Google and Yahoo have thru-the-backdoor submit your URL for free in order to publish your domain name.

Normally, SEO or placement of metatags should occur prior to publication of the domain name.

The adding of meta tags is accomplished via an HTML editor or web authoring tool, such as Composer, which is a freebie editor accompanying the Netscape browser. Begin with the title entry in which you describe in keywords what goods and services you are offering and where is the business site, at a city, state.

Following with a description entry which is a single complete sentence comprising 25-30 words.

Then there's the keywords entry which consists of 15-20 words, compound and plural separated by a comma and space.

Hopefully the above discussion will prove helpful to you in setting up a highly visible and discoverable website on major search engines.

Good luck!
