I appreciate this question as every affiliate can benefit from all the answers that this receives.
Hopefully the following provides you some assistance to promoting your SFI business:
Search engines send out crawlers to index your site's contents. Crawlers follow the links found on your site and enter your site into their search database based on text they find on your pages. This text is either found on your public pages, or the text keywords found in behind-the-scenes tags. The amount of your keywords found on your page, the more weight it has with the search engines and the higher your ranking. But in case you think you can load your page with keywords in order to fool the search engine, think again. Search engines are smart and you can be penalized for keyword stuffing on your website.
Search engines use several techniques to determine which category your site belongs in and which keywords people will use to find your site when using the search engine.
Once your site is ready for the search engines, then you have to submit it to them. For Google, you can submit it here:

For Bing, you can submit it here: https://ssl.bing.com/webmaster/legacy/submitsitepage.aspx
Yahoo uses Bing's search engine, so you don't need to submit it separately to Yahoo.
You may find it helpful to use Google's Webmaster Tools and Bing's Webmaster Tools to assist with tracking et al.
In short, the preparing of a web-site for submission to search engines can feel like a daunting task. So consider the tips above; you'll save yourself a lot of time and frustration when it comes time to submitting your site and rank higher in search results.
See you on the Internet!
