Dunno, it took some time for my site to be added :D

Download the Google Toolbar, it has the Page Rank of each page you visit...so if there's a green bar, that means the site has been added.

Found out the updates are most often at the end of the month. The 27th of each month is the average.

This "schedule" from our own experiences - your mileage may vary:

Google generally crawls on a continual basis - new URLs (those added using the addurl address, and those it finds in it's deep crawls of sites it knows about already) are generally "first crawled" aroudn the first week of the month - we generally reckon on telling Google about these sites we want to be crawled AT LEAST a week before the end of the month.

Each month around the end of the month, Google generates it's new index - affectionally known now as the "google-dance".

This update can take as much as 10 days to complete - during this time, sites which have previously been in the index can drop out, either temporarily, or possibly permanently (or semi-permanently).

There are tools and scripts available (I have a PHP script which tells me if the google-dance is running) - and there are a couple of googledance sites (search Google for "google dance") - but you can tell manually by running the following two searchs into different windows:

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=ISO-8859-1&q=link%3Awww.yahoo.com
http://www2.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=ISO-8859-1&q=link%3Awww.yahoo.com

If the counts for the number of links (top right, on the blue bar) - are different on each search, then Google is currently updating.

You should always make sure your site does NOT block googlebots from visiting - except the google image bots perhaps - this will NOT harm your pagerank in Google. :D
