New "Site I Own": Status: Not Verified

[Stephen Gornick]

I just added my site, and was looking to see what the status "Not
Verified" indicated.

I see that status when viewing my site with:
https://www.kachingle.com/sites_i_own.php

I'm assuming this is because there is some process from Kachingle to
inspect each medallion. The only problem I have is there was no
documentation stating what this "Not Verified" indicates.

When I looked in the Help page, there was nothing there that covered
Status.

Hi Stephen,

Thanks for joining Kachingle! Verification is something one of the
staff does manually so it can take 24-48 hours, especially on
weekends.

Note that verification only controls whether your site is included in
the All Sites and Top Sites lists. All other functionality including
operation of the medallion on your website works properly
independently of this status.

Thank you Bill for confirming that my assumption of why my site showed
"Not Verified" was correct.

My site has been reviewed, and now shows Status: Verified

Would it make sense to add your explanation to the FAQ?

Simply something like: "Status: Though it takes 24-48 hours for a new
site to be 'Verified', the medallion on your website is enabled and
can start earning immediately."

Hi Stephen,

We have, actually, added a new FAQ addressing this question. It should
be live on the site with our next push.
