    Hi, I’m wondering how I can get my website: websourceseogold.wordpress.com to be verified by Google when I try to submit it through Google webmaster tools.

    I was asked to insert: <meta name=”google-site-verification” content=”e2ZFH8DCKgwUZmlUr7eRRRuuS7jdacGxs_HgPUx3Tdc” /> into the homepage but am unsure how to do this. Another option they give is to add an HTML file to my website, which I’m also unsure how to do.

    Please help me figure this out, as I would like to get my website indexed with Google. Thanks,

    Chris

    To verify blog ownership of a WordPress.com blog with the major search engines you must use this process > http://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.

    Note also that 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

    It takes weeks for search engines to index content in a new blog and/or to re-index content under a new URL. What attracts search engines is unique content the cannot in posts 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/

    Go to you dashboard, and then hover your mouse over “Tools” on the side menu. Select “Available Tools” from the menu that opens.

    On the page that opens, there will be a window labeled “Google Webmaster Tools.” Paste your verification code into that window.

    Then go back to Google Webmaster tools (where you got the code) and click on the verify button.
