How long does it normally take before a new site is indexed by Google or Live Search?
I have added the site to Google with their Google Webmaster tool, and I have also added a site map.
But after a week the site is not still indexed.
Is that normal?Regards

With Google I had easy time, I’m sure if you have Google toolbar installed it will gather info about what pages you visit (and you definitely visit your own 
) and G sends its bots quickly (happened to me that I was developing a website in a secret place and G started to crawl it without any link out there to the website, or without any submission).
Also when my website was just ready I submitted some of the interesting pages to digg, stumbleupon, delicious, etc, these websites are crawled very frequently and Google will find the link to your website quicker.
Sandboxing is another thing, it doesn’t have any relation to the amount of pages you have in the index, it just ranks you lower because of the site’s young age.
Regarding MSN, well, after almost 3 months MSN is way lazy to crawl my website, last I checked 1 week ago, it only indexed 2 or 3 pages from my website. Joke…
