Listing your site in dmoz.org (open directory) and yahoo directory are a great way to instantly boost your ranking.
Google doesn't look at meta tags either, so make sure every relavent word is somewhere in your text or an alt tag.

Oh, also, submitting your site to google is practically useless, some say even negative. Google likes to find sites via links from other sites.
