getting listed in the ODP is always a good start to free-bie listings in any engine that is a candidate's for free listing. A lot of webmasters think that there are many routes to free inclusion in Teoma, and Ink (Hotbot) - though for brand new site's, i think patience is a very long term virtue regarding this approach.

I've noticed that both ask and inktomi (which powers hotbot) are very slow at picking up new sites. I suspect it's because they want to see if you'll pay for inclusion. On one site my patience broke down after 6 months and I paid. Otherwise expect to wait 8 - 10 months after you get your directory listings.
