Search Engine Optimization (SEO) aims at increasing the volume and improving the quality of traffic to a blog from search engine results. Search engines work on different algorithms to analyze the contents and keywords, and present the search results. Google, for instance, assigns page ranks, and blogs that rank highly will appear early in the results.
Many other factors are also considered by search engines, such as relevance, unique content and quality of links. The major search engines know that revealing these factors will only encourage manipulation of the ranking system and have thus been secretive about how the ranking algorithms work.
The common agreement is that the more visible your blog is on the internet, the higher your ranking will eventually be. Hence, having your blog linked to by many other blogs and indexed by different search engines increase its exposure and visibility.
Blog Indexing
Following up from my previous post, I assume that your blog is now up. It is a matter of time that your blog is indexed by the major search engines like Google and MSN. One of the fastest ways to have your blog indexed is to get another blog that is already in the search engine listings to link to you. When the search engine crawlers visit that blog, they will find your blog and index it.
When submitting your blog, you can just submit the top-level webpage and for Blogger Blogs, it will be an address like this http://blogname.blogspot.com without the www.
Some of the sites send advertisements and newsletters to you in exchange for free submission. If you don't want that, remember to opt out of it. Note that different search engines have different standards of content, design and technical specifications, submission of your blog does not guarantee that it will be included in their database.
Search Engine Listing
You may submit your site URL to these search engines to see if your blog has been indexed.

And the list goes on .........However, this should be more than sufficient to get you going.
