f you read around you'll see that
most leading articles do NOT recommend using
companies that offer 'guarantees' or submissions
to thousands of search engines. The reason is that
apart from the leading search engines, the
relevance (market share of searches made) of each
engine is really tiny. They are just too small to worry about.

In addition the likelihood that your site will end up on a link farm site (these are Spam sites) is very high. This is bad for you because you'll get bombarded with unwanted business email adverts (or worse porn adverts), for no virtually no extra traffic.
In addition Google may associate your site as a spam site and you may risk getting your site banned.
The same articles are also universally against using submission programs

The search engines themselves tend to frown upon automated submissions (they want a quality submission that is relevant to one of their categories, and they want it to be thought through carefully by its owner)
What these articles rarely touch upon however is how you are going to manage all these submissions in a neat way. The same piece of text just won't look right in multiple setting
Therefore you should manually submit to just the top 4 engines (Google, Windows live, Yahoo and ASK) which represent 85% of the web anyway, and to any specialist engines which your site is very relevant for.
I would recommend taking your time over each submission. Getting it wrong here could waste time and resource, slow down and comply as much as possible.
