Specialty Search Engines
Submitting your site to search engines that specialize in one area of interest is a good idea. Surfers that visit specialty search engines are already interested in the topic of your site, which means you'll have a good chance of bringing them to your site via your title and description.

Danny Sullivan's Search Engine Watch, ZDNet, and Searchability offer great pages full of links and descriptions of specialty search engines that are much more extensive than we can offer here.
