Time to index for page using Sitemap (lead time to index) Google, Yahoo, MSN/Live

[interestedenough]

Hi,

I have a website that is already indexed in google, msn, and yahoo. I'd like to time the indexing (and publishing) of a page very well with an ebay auction. The question is:

Once you have a site indexed in a search engine using a site map, how long does it take to get a new page indexed? The search engines being Google, Yahoo, and MSN/Live. Hours? Days? Any estimates?

Here is an example where the site was indexed in 19 hours (I don't know how valid that information is because this was back in 2005):

Thank you very much

this depends a great deal on the individual site / page itself. for example, news sites and blogs generally can get indexed within hours (mine gets indexed within minutes) even if no sitemap is resubmitted/updated/etc. the best indicator of how long it will take is the past history of how fast your pages get crawled.

typically, i'd say that you're more likely to get indexed first by google, then yahoo, then live.

I think that it will not be so long process with correctly made sitemap
