I created a google sitemap for http://www.articles-online.info/accounting a few days ago and verified it too. Now when I put site:articles-online.info/accounting into google search it only shows 5 sub pages. thought I have over 60. Why only 5? How does it choose which ones to show? All the meta tags are identical. How can I get it to show all the pages? Do I need to encourage the spiders to crawl from my sitemap account?
It's six now. Justs takes time. If you get internal IBL's to some of the pages that helps getting them indexed.
the crawl speed is related your backlinks, you want to speed it more you must continue building backlinks
I've had Google take up to 3 or 4 weeks to start crawling pages in a submitted sitemap. Really depends on a lot of things. Just do what you should be doing (good content, relevant backlinks) and let it grow.
all you have to do is waiting otherwise you have to find website with high PR which can creat a backlink to your site, it will reduce the time
I will also suggest that you have different content in the Meta Tags. This will increase the chance of being detected as unique pages.
Like everybody else said, it takes some time, but if you get backlinks, especially from higher PR/reputable sources, it will help speed things up drastically. I was able to get my blog into Google results in less than two weeks after launching. I know Mitch Harper was also able to get into results pretty quickly, but I know both of us had some good backlinking going on fairly quickly.
If you are using Webmaster Tools for the Google submission, you will see what the page count is on the "load". Usually Google reads all of them. Just give it two weeks. Google will get around to it.
