Do you think that submitting your site a lot to search engines is going to give your site a boost? Have you ever used the 'add url' form to submit a site to a search engine. Noticed how long it took to respond?
Have you ever seen webdesigners and the likes offering to submit your website to Google & hundreds of other search engines every month. Is it worth it?
Simple answer - Adding your url to a search engine is a waste of time. What's more, do it frequently and it can damage your search engine ranking.
Search engines find new sites themselves well enough if those sites are linked to from other established sites. This way the new sites can appear in a matter of days (but whether they remain listed is another matter...).
If you keep submitting your site via an add url page you are telling the search engine 'No-one links to me and I'm a struggling, unpopular site.' Does a car journey end any quicker when the child in the back keeps asking 'Are we nearly there yet?'
Do you get listed quicker / higher for saying 'I'm unpopular, please list me.'?
Don't do it, but then again I'm not encouraging link spamming. Contact a few site owners that have similar interests and see if they would be happy to link to you in return for you linking back. Get a few links sorted and then you'll get listed.
