If what you are talking about is that Searchlight thing they have on their website, I would drop that ripoff quick. They are really gouging for stuff that you can do yourself in a couple hours and get much better results with. I looked at their guaranteed services and comparisons of costs, and think they are way overstating their worth.
By their chart, here is a free $180 tip. Don't worry with submitting your website to search engines. They will find you based on links to your site. You are already in Google's and Yahoo's indexes so organic search is covered. I don't see where they offer SEO so you won't gain anything from them on organics. If you want to do paid advertising on the search engines, the only ones to look at are Google (also includes Ask, AOL, and many others), MSN, and Yahoo. I would recommend setting up test campaigns on them one at a time.
It will take a couple hours to set up each one and then maybe a 30 minutes a week to monitor the campaigns the first month to make sure they are doing what you want, but after that it isn't much work. Certainly not the time they are suggesting unless you are trying to play arbirtage games and such. For just advertising beads and jewelry it is fairly easy.
They don't seem to be doing much of a job at making sure they are using the money wisely either, I would never pay over 20 cents a click for traffic in our sector. And if I only got a few hundred clicks a month, I would be upset. They are only promising that a year!
