I use VSE "Be Found" but it is a commercial application that submits your sites to 100s of search engines and helps with 100s more directories. Helps you navigate all of the description lengths for certain sites, and little nuances that might reject your submission.
It's mac based though.
As said above google.com and dmoz.org are the places to start. Also Yahoo, if you want to pay for the privilege of being included there.
