how much time do you usually wait before your site is included in the directories? I mean on average, considering you have submitted to general directories
It really depends. Are we talking about free directories? If so, then the wait could be anywhere from a few minutes to years to maybe never included. Usually I don't worry too much about when I get accpeted. I just submit and forget about it. For paid directories, I expect to be listed within a day or two. If it takes longer than this, than why the hell bother paying for an inclusion.
Same here. When I pay for a listing I expect to be listed within at least 48 hours. Likewise when someone submits their site to my directory I will add it as soon as I check my email, for the most part I will have a site listed in less than 4 hours unless I have gone out somewhere.
Paid inclusion is more like first class -- you should expect to be up in a day or two. However theres really no guaruntee with free directories, it really depends on whos running it and their work ethic and integrity
Probably about half a month for most, maybe more. Still getting a trickle of additions from my mass-directory-submission that I did last month...
