Search Google for [HTML META TAGS KEYWORDS] and you'll get lots of help.
Also find the Google page that describes how the Google ranking system works, and get other sites that have relevant content to link to your page. As Jon says, Google doesn't use meta tags because they can be abused too easily.

Also, be patient. New sites can take weeks to get listed on Google etc.

There's a number of sensible things to do with the web site itself too. Make sure the main page has some relevant text content with the keywords in it. Don't try clever tricks to jack up your rating - many sites can detect the more extreme versions of these and will downrate them.

Whatever you do, don't pay to have your site submitted to "1000 search engines". Do you know of 1000 search engines? Do you think they are any good? Search engines want your money, but they want your site listed too so it will happen for free eventually.
