The effect of this is debatable, but from experience, the best way to overcome this is as follows:

Instead, try to link from an authority site, ideally PR4 or above. If you don't currently have any authority sites, purchasing a nicely related text link (from a site with few links, not a site selling loads of them), will get you more for your money than any kind of SE submission.

Naturally, Google and other SE's spider authority sites more frequently than those that are less important. This is partly because they have a larger number of followable links pointing at them, and thus, if you would like to be spidered and indexed quickly, you should link to your site from one.
