To do this you will need to list your website on as many websites and directories as possible.

Directories

• Paid Listing Directory: for a listing fee your website is listed, often these are higher quality directories as only serious website owners and business's will pay to be listed. These are usually the fastest way to get listed and get links to your website, as the paid listing directories are run as a business. There are niche/specialist and general directories.
  
• Free Directories: it can take a long time to get your website listed. As the service is free, there may be little or no control of the quality of websites being listed. DMOZ is the most important free directory, it can take quite some time to get listed, but worth the effort, follow submission guidelines very carefully. http://www.dmoz.org
