How long does it take for the sitemap statistic to be available after you create a sitemap? For example when you look under statistics, page analysis and examine the "In external links for my site" it says "Data is not available at this time". It has now been over a month since I created the sitemap for this site. One of my other sites shows OK (but I created that sitemap four months ago).
I agree I would have thought a month would have been enough, but I created the sitemap on the 13-5-06 (over two months ago) and google started crawling the site the same day but its still showing "Data is not available at this time"
You are still waiting? How many pages is on that site and what software did you use to create the sitemap?
I get the exact same thing now, strage thing here was that my site had been showing stats before (almost instantly too) but for some odd reason I had to verify it again...
Seph sometimes their webmaster tools drop the stats and prompt that you verify the site again. This is usually down to some screw up at their end and for the most part there is no need to re-verify. Last week all my sites had the verify site prompt but I decided to wait it out. Everything return to normal two days later without me having to do anything.
