Hi...I have submitted sitemap for my site www.mumbaiproperties.info yesterday but still its status is showing pending??Please let me know whats the problem because usually when i submit the sitemap it is read within few hours???
I am not an expert, and I am based in the UK so Google may behave differently here, but I have found Google to be inconsistent (almost seasonal). Sometimes it picks up changes e.g. to sitemaps within hours, and sometimes it is a few days. Have you tried to message Google directly?
I just got a chance to play around with google webmaster tools a few days ago. Indeed it's very helpful. I also have the same problem, I submitted the site map 2-3days ago and it's still saying pending, I thought I saw google saying it could take few hours, well it's been days I guess we have to wait. I think it's amazing that google can handle trillions and trillions of websites indexing crawling analyzing etc...
I have noticed that Google crawls the sitemap at different rates. Sometimes it took a new site of mine 1 day where another site will take a week. Yahoo site explorer takes way longer than google to crawl your sitemap.
hi, i have faced this same issue many times.simply delete your old sitemap and get new sitemap from http://www.themedseoservices.com error free sitemap and free of cost.
