Yahoo!:
Because of Yahoo!'s high quality control, humans look at each web site submitted before adding it to their database, so it usually takes anywhere from 6 to 8 weeks.

Stay listed & on top of the Search Engines

Engines have been known to drop sites for no reason, so you should check to see if you're listed often. You can check up your site through FreeSubmit2000's Site Checker Tool on the following search engines; HotBot, Infoseek, Lycos, Webcrawler and Alta Vista but the best way is to visit each engine individually.

You will want to resubmit if you have difficulty finding your site in any major engines. Be patient, don't resubmit if you can't find your site within a day after submitting, this could get your site banned from a search engine. Don't resubmit if you have good placement, this could mess your placement up.
