Hey all. I submitted my site to yahoo's search submit thingm with my meta stuff between the head tag in the index page of course. My site is only 13 pages. I have 25 links that are .wmv's in the index page. I also have about 25 text links to another site.

How long do you think it will take yahoo's crawler to finish so that my site can be in the main search area in yahoo search?

thank,
josh

Submitting isn't enough to get your site in the search results, you need back links from other sites to your domain, as many as possible.

If you have site statistics look for "Inktomi Slurp" in your logs, that's the Yahoo crowler, as soon as you see this bot in your logs you know that Yahoo is indexing your pages.
