You can submit to Google, or you can simply get links to your pages. You can get crawled/indexed simply by getting links but it's up to you whether you submit too
You can also go here and make an account and then submit a sitemap. But, definitely start with the link that hooperman gave you.
No need of submitting, google will automatically find you if you have back links to your site. if you dont have any backlinks, even if you submit, google is not going to give you any sort of rank. So just keep on adding quality incoming links to your site. Thats it!
You mean like suppose I have a travel website, do the links have to be travel related with very high PR ?
i have tips that can get u indexed i a few hrs(24). make a blog in blogger.com google owns and loves blogger so their spiders frequesnt the place most. after you've made a blog(almost about any topic), then make a post. in your post include the url(www.yourwebsite.com),and add some information about it. make sure you've mentioned and included your url in your blog. then go to www.google.com/addurl and immediately add your website. promise it will take less than a night to get indexed adn listed by google. then like tomorrow come and search for your website in google.
There are many ways how to index your site in google. You could always try the free search engine submission form that Google offers (the other search engines for this too).
If you submit your site to google you will be indexed in 3 to 4 weeks but if you get a link on a Pr3 - 4 site you will be indexed in 2 days or a PR2 site link you will be indexed in 4 to 5 days. Try it . Best Regards z80039

I have articles on blogspot, can those be submitted here i.e. copying the link and pasting it in those sites ?
Get some good pr backlinks, place your site link in your signature here in DP and submit a sitemap to google. You will definitely get indexed in 2-3 days.
To save effort, simply wait for them to find you. Easier and less time consuming. Depending on how well your site is linked/etc, should take 2-8 days, maybe longer.

Don't follow those two methods, there useless. All you need is a backlink, whether it is on your signature, on a site, or even a social bookmarking page, go get one now.
