.WS Business / Team Building / Re: Do you move your downline members?

I have been moving downline members AND sending referrals to the links of my downlines too. If it's the beginning of the calendar week, then I will sign them up myself, and then move them under someone else. If it's the end of the week, and I'm not close to the bonus, then I will send the new interest to one of my downline team member links, since it won't hurt me to not have them as a personal referral. And in this way I can encourage each of my team members.
While no, you don't have to do this, I think its a great idea to do it. For one thing, it gives your downline some incentive and encouragement. For another it makes them feel more like they are not in this all by themselves. And the real question for me is, why wouldn't you do it. It doesn't make a difference as to how much you get paid, but it sure can make a difference in how many people drop out from discouragement.
I send out 3 emails right off the bat to my downline as soon as they sign up. A welcome email, an email with a tutorial i wrote up about building your site and some other info. And an email about advertising for free. I also make sure that everyone in my downline no matter what level they are on, has my email address, my Yahoo Instant Messenger Address, and my phone number and that they all know that I am ready and willing to help in any way I can. I try to get back to my team the same day. I have had comments from many people saying that they really appreciate my being so hands on and encouraging. More people should try it.

I have been helping my downline every step of the way. I learned everything the hard way and am still learning. I spend 14 hours a day scouring the net looking for what works and what doesn't. Then I pass on whatever I have learned (which isn't much) to my downline. I have about 35 people in my downline and have been in GDI since October. I wish I knew the secret to being on the leaderboard. It would really help everyone in my team and it would seem like it would help the uplines too. But for some reason they don't share their info as well as one would hope.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I've been trying to get this figured out for more than a week. I did this and it worked!!!! 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,

I get the feeling I'm going to have to make up my own site and just use GDI for hosting. The reason is that I cannot get the site I have created with the site builder verified by Google. I have tried the Meta Tag way, and it doesn't work. I even deleted all my keywords and just put in the metatag that they said to put, and it didn't work either. They want it placed in the first head section before the first body section.
The only other way to verify is by uploading an html file titled with a title they specify that didn't work either.
Dont know what to do. Any suggestions?

.WS Services / WebSite Development / Site Builder HELP!!

I've built the basics of my site using the site builder. Now I'm trying to verify my site with google and it says I need to do one of two things. Either 1) Add a Meta Tag in the specific place they say as follows: We couldn't find the verification meta tag in the HEAD section of your site's home page. If you see this error, check the following:
That you've placed the meta tag on the correct page. We look for it on your site's home page. This is the page that your server returns when someone requests your site (such as http://www.example.com/). This page is often named index.html or index.htm, but could be named differently, depending on your server's configuration.
That you've placed the meta tag in the correct place on the page. We look for it in the page's HEAD section. An example of correct placement is shown below.
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Your Title</TITLE>
<META name="verify-v1" content="String_we_ask_for">
</HEAD>
<BODY>
or 2) I can upload an HTML file the way they say as follows:To verify your site by uploading an HTML file:Sign into Google webmaster tools with your Google Account.
Click Verify next to the site you want.
In the Choose verification method list, select Upload an HTML file, and follow the steps on your screen.
Using any text editor, create the file that we ask for and make sure to save it with the exact name we ask for (for example, google11e5844324b7354e.html). The filename is case-sensitive and must have an ".html" extension. The file itself can be empty - we don't read the content of the file, but only check to see that it exists in the specified location. Upload the file to your webserver to the location we specify. Generally, this is the root folder for your site.
Once you have uploaded the file, click Verify button. We will verify that the file exists in the specified location. If we can't access the file, we'll give you information about the error we encountered. Once this problem is resolved, try to verify your site again. I tried this and got an error message as follows:We've detected that your server returns a status of 200 (found successfully) for pages that don't exist.
We've detected that your server returns a status of 200 (found successfully) for pages that don't exist. We can't verify sites with this configuration because it would enable anyone to verify ownership of your site. You can try our meta tag verification method or change your server's configuration.
This configuration presents a security risk for site verification and therefore, we can't verify your site. If your web server is configured to return a status of 200 (found) in the header of 404 (not found) pages, and we enabled you to verify your site with this configuration, others would be able to take advantage of this and verify your site as well. To ensure that no one can take advantage of this configuration to view statistics to sites they don't own, we only verify sites that return a status of 404 in the header of 404 pages.
If your server is configured to return something other than a 404 for non-existent pages, try our meta tag verification method or change your server's configuration.
You can change your web server configuration to return a status of 404 in the header of 404 pages and still provide a custom error page (see Apache information and IIS information). Note that we do a HEAD request (and not a GET request) when we check for this. Once your web server is configured correctly, try to verify the site again and we'll recheck your configuration  I am now completely lost and confused as I am new to website ANYTHING and thought I was doing good to figure out how to use the site builder. Can anyone help me? Is this possible to fix and have google verify the website while still using site builder? or do I have to start from scratch and use GDI hosting and try to figure out how to build my own website with some kind of software?http://
