    @stevemack, just to clarify when did you submit your website sitemap to Google?
    Please note that it usually takes Google to crawl your website 1.5 to 2 days after your website submission.

    A tip I know is this that Google usually take reference from DMoz.org and Yahoo!. So do submit your sitemap to both of them too.

    Hope it is useful for you.

      Thanks for the reply but I dont know that even we can submit sitemap.xml to directories. If so, will it not go beyond the guidelines of Google?

    No, it should not be pending, it only stays pending for a couple hours usually.
