Default What search engine gives you referrals?

I am currently using Blogger and it seems that the only search engines that give me significant referrals are Google, AOL, and Yahoo. My blog has been out for around 3 months.

Do other search engines, such as Microsoft's live search and Altavista crawl Blogger blogs? If so, can you list some?

It took me about 2 months to get listed on Yahoo, so I'm wondering if there's a huge delay to see blogs on other search engines.

Thanks

I think I get a majority from Google and Google Images... though, I do get some from Yahoo and smaller search engines. And if you count Technorati, I get traffic from them too!

Mostly google, although Yahoo and msn throw me some visitors from time to time.

I only ever submitted my URL to google, because i figred that the other search engines would eventually crawl what google had crawled.

Well, eventually it'll start flowing in from different search engines... but Google seems to bring the most traffic out of all the search engines.
