Whats the difference between Google and Yahoo!
I get asked this question so often by people. Both of them are search engine yet the 2 engines are so different from each other! Why? The human element!
Google is what's called a meta crawler search engine where a 'spider' or a 'bot' would visit your website and collect the information from it, the 'spider' is a machine of course.
On the other hand, Yahoo! is a directory where websites are classified under specific category and placed in a manner of category. This is not the only difference, yahoo! is also a man powered verification directory.

So do you think that submitting your web site to search engines is more important than linking up with relevant sites?

Yes in principle, although you have to do them both.
Linking from relevant websites will give you more long term page rank improvements, you should do this and make sure to add new links regularly and monitor the links you have are still good and relevant.
Search engine submission is the most important for getting noticed by a search engine, and you need that!
A directory on the other hand is human editte so search engines love that editor taking time to check the website. That gives more credibility to your website when collected from a directory by smaller and regional search engines and other minor directories which visit these big names to get data for their small regional business.
Remember to get business you need customers even from next door!
