Have you Verified your site with Google? Its Free

Stumbled upon this Free Google Offering, which will help us list our websites securely with Google and to ensure that Google Verify it!

Prior to this I didnt realize that Google had to verify our website. And since Google is the BEST BEST BEST Search Engine in the world ... I am gonna verify all my blogs under it! :) hehe

Step 1 : Go to https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/sitestatus

Step 2 : Log in with your Google log in

Step 3 : Add your Blog/Website URL

Step 4 : Verify Your Site. Choose either to Verify by adding a html file to your domain, or adding Meta Tags to your site. (If blurr like me, click on the help "?" to guide u)

DONE!! :)


At Step 3, Google will also display

• Whether Pages from your site are included in Google's index
• When googlebot accessed your home page
• Potential indexing problems

Quite interesting ... if u have not done this before! So what u waiting for go VERIFY!!!



AND just in case u have a curious mind like me, WHY? Why do you Verify?
What is site verification?

Site verification is a process that Google uses to ensure that only site owners can see detailed diagnostics, statistics and other information . If you can upload a verification file to the the site's root or can add a verification meta tag to your site's home page, we consider you a site owner and will show you site details.
