Re: verify/pending verification

serval,

If your sites were "pending verification" and then switched to "not
verified", we processed the verification but then were unable to
successfully verify the site due to a problem. As we note in this blog
post:
http://sitemaps.blogspot.com/2005/12/more-query-stats-verification.html

"If we aren't able to successfully process the request, you'll see "NOT
VERIFIED" as the status in the Verify tab. If you see this, check that
your verification file is in the correct location, is named exactly as
we ask, that your robots.txt file doesn't block access, and that your
server is up and responding to requests. Then, try your verification
request again."

We are working to display more specific messages so that you can more
easily know what kind of trouble we ran into, but for now, check these
things (as well as make sure your server doesn't return a status of 200
for a 404 page) and then click Verify again.
