Google doesn't really use metatags in indexing a site. They use page titles, page content and have recently started using info from dmoz.org for site descriptions. Submitting your site to search engines can make the process of getting your site listed easier.

It will take longer than a week for Goggle to get to your site. They have been running quite slow lately on listing new sites often taking a month or more. It really doesn't do any good to post your link in forums like this one, since they are not indexed by search engines.

The main advantage that you get of other sites linking to yours is that those are picked up an indexing and can sometimes improve search engine ranking.
