After jumping through all the hoops to try and get a website verified on a company YouTube channel (in order to link to the company website via annotations) the associated website was still showing as “Pending”
(here: https://www.youtube.com/advanced_settings)
To fix this, after much frustration and googling I discovered this page in webmaster tools…
https://www.google.com/webmasters/verification/
I added the YouTube user account email to associated users at the bottom and the site was instantly associated in YouTube!
Hope this helps you and saves you a bit of time.
