Does it give me an upper hand if i register with more job agencies( reed, hays etc)??..or is it better to stick to one place??...
While on a registration interview with the job agencies, i have been asked if i have registered with any other agencies. if i answer a yes to them, would that discourage them to lookup a job for me or would that encourage them to look for a job for me faster

Take them one at a time. Many times if you register with a lot they will wind up taking you to the same places at the same time, not good as the hiring manager would then avoid you to stay out of a fee disagreement.
When you talk with an agency, tell them you will give them one week exclusivity. Give them a list of where you have already applied and make them supply you with a list of places they have presented you to. If they don't get your resume out to more than 10 places in one week, tell them to stop representing you and go to the next. They need to present you to places that aren't advertising, meaning if you know the company is hiring you should present yourself. They are there to take you to the places that have under the radar searches or need a very specific person and don't want to be weighed down by excess resumes.
Always tell the truth that you have registered at other agencies. It's pretty typical that people register with three or four anyway.

Registering with more than one. The only way that company is going to earn money is by placing you somewhere. They have nothing to gain if they let another job agency do the work.
Just make sure to call everyday. This will let them know you are serious.

Most people who work for temp agencies are registered with more than one. If one falls through, they call the others to get work.
You do what's best for you to keep working! The agencies understand that.

Better read the contracts very closely. If you sign with more than one agency and one finds you a job, you may owe the fees to the other agencies.
