Re: is something wrong with site verification today

Hi klcaa,
If your verification file or meta tag is still present on your site,
try clicking the "pending" link on the My Sites page and then clicking
the "Verify" button on the Verify page. We reverify periodically and
generally this is done in the background -- we find the file or meta
tag and the site remains verified. However, every so often, this

Sitemap OK, 451 URLs, but only 1 page indexed?

2006-10-25T14:54:49Z

Hello,
I submitted my sitemap a few weeks ago for [link].
Google Webmaster Tools is reporting that the Sitemap Status is OK and
that 451 URLs were submitted.
However, when i search on google for "site:[link]", the only
result is the main page.

webmasters who work hard for months to build a site and suddenly see it

Try your search on yahoo, they show more accurate results.
That is done by google, if it suspects an exeptionally high relevance

Hi Kevin
You need to check [link] :-). The
gss.xsl file is just a stylesheet to display the sitemap in a browser.
You don't really need it and Google doesn't read it - it's just for
your manual checks.

Re: google does not seem to use my sitemap

pages. However, the second item can also play a role if you have a lot
