For James Jenkins :
I'm getting crazy . How I do this . Google gives me the code and then what ? I'm using a template from site builder 4.01
Where I insert the code . I tried in many ways and nothing works. I'm at my first website . Help !
Google gives you the code then you add "/> at the beginning of the code and " />< after the equal from the end of it. After doing so go to the sitebuilder and click properties from your home page (it's something green like a button) ; GO to Description and paste the modified code from google. ok! Good luck!Quote
This is for everyone using SiteBuilder,
I highly recommend that you start a Google account. It allows you access to many of their services like, blogger, adwords, etc. There is also a webmasters section. Much good, but general, information. However, to use many of their webmaster tools you are required to register your website main domain name (i.e. http//yoursite.ws/).
They then provide you an html snipet to add to your site so they can validate you are the owner.
This is a problem for those using the sitebuilder to create a website. But, I have discovered a workaround!
In your additional properties (where the meta tags & discription are added) for your home page, in the meta description block, modify the code google gave you, as follows:
This is your meta description for your site. It is in plain english, or your language of choice."/>
<meta name="verify-v1" content="qIg3D8eXuuVVIl7p2JnLzEw8PQYcGbJ8W1ujPLJv+1g=" /><
Just change the above code with what Google provides you. It's just a slight change to the end of your description and the end of the code.
I don't know if it is my imagination or not, but registering my site seemed to get it indexed in just a few days, AND updates I make to it seem to be spydered in about 24-48 hours. Maybe it would have happened anyway, but can't hurt to let Google know you're there.
I'm still working on a sitemap that Google will recognize as valid. Anyone got suggestions on how to do that? Remember, this is using GDI sitebuilder.
Thanks All,
