No. It has taken different lengths of time each time I have set up the site. You can speed the indexing process by adding some backlinks from authority or hub sites (important sites for your topical area).

Personally I would concentrate on Google - 80% of all internet searches are done on Google. The other search engines are almost an irrelevance to the optimiser.

No. Google is the mother of search engines. MSN and Yahoo only bring lesser traffic than google.

No it is not true. Google will index your pages first.

No google is much faster that's what i have noticed.

anybody have similar expirience?

What do you mean by being listed? Do you mean your site ranks in MSN for a particular keyword? If that so, that is just because there is less competition in MSN unlike with Google that the online competition is so very tough.

whats the point to optimise for MSN, a few % of traffic? you would get more from twitter.

No, i thnk google is the fastest search engine thought of yet , MSN is fast but it doesnt have suffiecient information not like google maybe you just think that because its probably your home page or something

for me it's a hard thing to rank in MSN, i think they have unusual algorithm that they use in indexing a site

No never had such experience.You are much luck to get indexed my msn earlier than google.
