Google, MSN, and Yahoo are the major search engines and if they are not indexing your site you won't get found.
Try this...and replace example with your domain name for example for Google.
[google.com...]
There are plenty (I would wager that it's the great majority) of web sites that receive little or no traffic at all from SE's, not to burst JAB's bubble. I mean, if this is your personal site, or an informational site on the mating habits of Chia Pets, then there aren't going to be too many people just stumbling onto you from Google, so it really doesn't matter at that point if you're getting crawled or not.
Your mission would instead be to raise interest, through advertising, link exchange, whatever. Again, we'd need to know what kind of site you're running to gauge what your issue might be.
The biggest natural draw to your site will be word of mouth from the people that have visited your site, who in turn tell their friends. So, does your site have 'stickability?' Is there something there that I would tell my friends about? Or have you created a cookie cutter portal?
One gauge of stickiness can by determined how many people come back. If the people who do visit don't ever return, why? Getting a web site on the internet is easy. Making that site work takes a lot of work. You may find that you need to fine tune the site navigation. Your color scheme might throw people off. The way you present your content might make a difference.
So you really have 2 things to work on...
1) make you site more visible
2) make your site sticky so people will want to come back.
