    Just go to the directory site, they'll ask you details about your site,etc..fill it up and submit..that's it!
    You can find tons of directories list's here on DP.

    Personally, I feel directory submission is just Time Waste.

    Most directories will require you to submit following details:

    URL, Title, description, submitter name and submitter email

    You need to go to a directory, navigate to the category you think is best, press submit and fill the details for your site.

    Directory submission is quickly becoming an outdated seo tactic. Previously this technique was a very easy way to build up backlinks for a new website. Now the search engines are giving less weight to links from directories.

    It can be very time consuming to submit to hundreds of directories. I personally don't think it's worth the effort anymore. There are much better ways to promote a website.
