From previous experience, it cam take anywhere up to three weeks to be indexed in Google and Yahoo! takes even longer.
Although the last few sites I added got listed pretty much straight away, note that the indexed pages were just random posts but none the least it was at its beginning stages
😉
A quick note for everyone, get to know your "Google Search Shortcuts" (thats what I call them). I personally like the "site:" rule...
Go to google and type into the search:
"site:forumpromotion.net" (without the " but all as one word no need for http:// or www)
Notice how only the google searches for the domain forumpromotion.net show up
😉 not sites that have threads that contain the words forumpromotion.net.
If you need links for google adding and yahoo adding..

As for MSN Live search.. Don't even bother adding manually, it works quicker through its bots auto-finding your site through its own listing of sites that contain your link.
😛 (although for some unknown reason if you manually add, the bots appear quicker
😵)
I have been making a fair few sites over the last year and have always added them to searches. I used this time to also learn to understand how their listings work, just not to SEO aspects.
Be very cautions, if you have spam forums, they can show up as your first google indexed site until you get a full listing. This is because the spam forums are usually the most popular
😉
Hope this helps
You are listed.. And it hit your index
