I submitted this site Car Desktop Wallpapers - Car Photos, News, Information and Videos to my GWT account a few days ago but the verification status is still "pending". Googles system says that it experienced a "temporary problem" and it would try again later. I used the html file initially and have also used the meta tag. I have checked back a few times to find the status is still the same.

Today I have submitted another site for verification (a Wordpress blog) and this was verified straight away.

So, I am thinking now that there is a problem with the set up of the first site (hence the inclusion of the url) and would appreciate some advice abouit the problem GWT may be seeing. I have added an xml sitemap with about 700+ pages and the site is already ranked for the words in the month old domain name (I expect this to no longer be the case shortly). My error log file is clear at the moment. Both sites are on the same shared hosting.


Any ideas?
