I've never tried it, but there are utilities like SubmitWolf that help with this.

I've had my site just randomly appear at google one time, never submitted it or anything...was weird.

That's expected. Google and all major search engines use "spiders" to index the web. Basically, it follows links from page to page and indexes what it finds. All you have to do is have a page that's already on Google link to yours and it will find it in an average of about 2-3 months. I've never submitted a site to Google, and yet all of them have shown up on there after a couple of months or so.

Yup....plus you actually get better search rankings if google finds the site on its own. All you need to do is put links to the site on pages that are already in googles index - then voila, wait a month or two and you'll be in!

You can see the google crawlers in your host report (a report that lists all hosts that have visited your site in a period of time). that is if they've hit your site.

just submit it......start with other search engines as well(not google) and eventually it'll have a landslide effect(hopefully)
