How to register your pages
The first suggestion by "Cesar I. Gulmatico Jr." cesar@pare.ph: Go to www.global.gr/mtools/linkstation/se/engnew.htm "...and all you need is only one click and wait. 8D watch out for errors returned by search engines. Also, you will have to manually submit to altavista and also to those that returned an error. Uncheck any that you have recently submitted to or they may hold it against you."
AltaVistaClick "Add a URL" link at bottom of page.
GoogleClick "About Google," then click "Add Your URL" link (under "How to Google").
Go.comClick "Add URL" link at bottom of page.
ExciteClick "Add URL" link at bottom of page.

Advice
Try http://master.com/  - I've been using this for years on several
sites, it is free for up to 5000 pages, very fast, and lots of options
and customizations available.  They only index autmatically twice
monthly - however, you can log in and run a manual reindex any time -
I will do that when I add a significant new page or make major changes
to content anywhere. Otherwise, it really doesn't matter.

Do you know WHY atomz is reporting 3000 pages for your site, if you
think there is less? Is there a forum or bulletin board where lots of
extra "pages" are created, or could atomz be spidering dynamic content
and reporting incorrect results due to essentially looping through the
site?  If so, maybe you can customize atomz to NOT search specific
areas or types of pages on your site.  If you can't do this with
atomz, you can definitely do this with master.com.

The google service is good and I use this internally (for my own use),
but it just reports results from whenever the Google spider visits
your site, which is not that frequent. It can work well for a well
ranked site like mine - but I don't feel that it is
updatable/customizable enough for me to use it as a regular site
utility.
