When I was doing it, I found Google was fastest, though it did still take a day or two for anything to appear in the tools, Yahoo wasn't too bad, but Bing literally took a couple of weeks before there was much data to see -- they'd crawl about 1% of my blog at a time. So just don't get panicky if there's nothing to see for a while -- like thesacredpath says, it's not instant. :-)

All the google dashboard stats say "no data" - I assume that will eventually change now that I have registered/verified, right?

Do the same for Yahoo & Bing. :-)

We users cannot access metadata files on WordPress.com blogs. There is a very specific process to follow for verification of blog ownership of WordPress.com blogs with the major search engines. Please go here and follow the instructions very carefully. http://en.support.wordpress.com/
