keep in mind that search engines and directories are different.
google is a search engine ( well, I think they have a directory as well. )
yahoo, msn, are directories.
If I remember correctly, yahoo and msn and other directories do not index the web. the only way to get in their directory is to submit and hope that they put you in.
on the other hand, search engines like google, actually go out and "index" the web. They will find every site , every page everywhere eventually and put them in the index.
now, where those sites are in the index is what SEO is all about.
