I am trying to get google to notice my site and am having problems figuring out the steps to verify my account? Could any one give me tips on how to follow the folowing steps?1. Download this HTML verification file. [google7478479f755c531e.html]
2. Upload the file to http://greatnorthsup.com/
3. Confirm successful upload by visiting http://greatnorthsup.com/google7478479f755c531e.html in your browser.
4. Click Verify below.
To stay verified, don’t remove the HTML file, even after verification succeeds.
I am fairly new to building a site, actually very new and can not figure this part out?
Thanks for any helpThe blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi greatnorthsup,
You need use the alternate method instead of using the file method. Use the directions found at https://en.support.wordpress.com/webmaster-tools/#google-search-console and you should be set to go.

The only Google site verification method that works for wordpress.com hosted blogs is here https://en.support.wordpress.com/webmaster-tools/
Note: Even if you do not verify the blog the content will be indexed by search engines so don’t feel panicky about this please.
WordPress.com automatically supplies sitemaps for our blogs to search engines – we do nothing. http://en.support.wordpress.com/sitemaps/#xml-sitemaps-for-search-engines
What attracts search engines is unique content in posts (not pages) that cannot be found anywhere else on the internet. Start now publishing original content posts frequently two or even three times weekly. For more information read > http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2010/01/21/omg-i-cant-find-my-blog-on-google/
