Warning: The following is second or thirdhand information. I make no claims as to whether it is accurate or complete, other than I got it from someone who deals with search engine related stuff for a living.

One thing that search engines apparently avoid like the plague is pages with URL's like

http://www.example.com/index.pl?foo=bar

If the pages you've submitted look like this, that may be your problem. You may want to throw up a static page or two for purposes of being indexed.

Also, make sure you don't have any restrictions in robots.txt that could block the pages from being indexed. If you don't have a robots.txt file, it couldn't hurt to throw one up that explicitly allows it.

Finally, I don't know how long you've been waiting, but if it's less than a week (or even two), be patient. Search engines take a while to incorporate submitted pages into their databases.
