@ Curt B. – Sure here are the URLs:
MSN/Live.com – http://search.msn.com.sg/docs/submit.aspx
Yahoo! http://search.yahoo.com/info/submit.html
Ask – http://about.ask.com/en/docs/about/webmasters.shtml#9

@Karan Goyal – It is very wise not ignore any of the other search engines! ;o)

Yup, although Google does all the magic, but the traffic from MSN and Yahoo always does add up. Atleast for me. SEO is all about free search traffic, so why ignore any thing. Just something to share, Yahoo, MSN and Ask give much more importance to keyword in the domain then Google (which means Google also gives importance to the keyword in domain).

It would be useful if you could provide some links to the submission pages for these search engines.

@ Karan Goyal – Thanks for reading, yes people should really not ignore Yahoo!, MSN/Live.com and Ask.com search engines as much as they tend to do…

I completely agree. I have noticed MSN rankings usually come pretty fast and then comes Google (if you are doing it all right). Yahoo for some reason takes a while and once it does, it does not go away fast.

@Krystian – Thanks for reading and your comment. This may be a direct relation to the demographics of your targeted audiences and the competitiveness of your keywords…

Good point but for me it didn’t work.

I mean, I have the third place on Yahoo and the first on MSN and I never got any traffic from them, while on the 3rd place on Google I get continous traffic.
Not sure why it is…
