To add your url to google try this
And also try to add the <meta> tag to your pages like this one from openfree itself:

<meta name="keywords" content="Linux,how to,tutorial,operating system,linux,red hat,mandrake,security,linux, news, software, Slackware, Red Hat, Fedora, KDE, Gnome, Debian, Ubuntu, Knoppix, Tech support, help,installation,question,forums,linux,help,linux,operating,system,free,linux,linux,commands,linux,download,windows,XP,vista,OLPC" />
<meta name="description" content="A highly interactive forum community for Linux, Open Source, Windows and OLPC users with inquiring minds" />

(View->Page Source on Firefox).
The search engines will look at those keywords to find information about your
page.
