  I have had many pages of my site blocked in the meta robots tag for about 10 months, however the pages are still in the live search index.
  
  Therefore I advise people to use robots.txt and not rely on meta tags.  Google also ignored those tags sometimes (though not to the extent of MSN).
  
  Now that I have blocked access to the pages in robots.txt, how long should it take for these pages to fade from the Live Search index?
