Here is a list of search engines. You can submit your website to the search engines for successful marketing strategy.

Powerset is working on building a natural language search engine that can find targeted answers to user questions (as opposed to keyword based search).
Viewzi. The search engine lightens the data overload by filtering and grouping results into several distinct interfaces. Users get over 16 “views” for their search including MP3 view, album view, specialized lenses for images, news, and more.
Vivisimo has a concept of clustering search results based on topic; for example, dividing the results of a search for “cell” into groups like “biology,” “battery,” and “prison.” This process allows users to intuitively narrow their search results to a particular category or browse through related fields of information, and seeks to avoid the “overload” problem of sorting through too many results.
Wikia Search – The search engine’s result pages currently provide access to three major components: a web search engine, a social network service and a wiki, which hosts so-called mini-articles.
Accoona is a search engine that claims to use artificial intelligence to better understand searches.

Geographical / Regional search engines

Local search engines allow users to submit geographically constrained searches. Local search advertising can be highly effective because it allows ads to be targeted very precisely to the search terms and location provided by the user.

Add your website to national and local search engine and directories if your website has local-oriented content.
