As a result - I never recommend you submit a site - however - it is a good to get some links from other websites.

Google site map and yahoo site explorer are very helpful. These tools store your site links and help search engine robots to visit and spider those links. My assumption is that sites listed with these tools might enjoy a bit higher priority and organised visit than those submitted on ad-hoc basis.
Sites will be ultimately visited by SE spiders, but you should also wave your flag whenever you update your sites. You can even mention the estimated frequency of updates in your xml site map that Google sitemap use to spider your sites.
