  I’m trying to get my blog listed on Google. I downloaded the number they gave me, but I don’t know how to upload it onto my blog.

  Thank you. I went to the link, and read it. What’s a “Meta” tag? I feel so stupid not understanding these terms. I looked up “meta” in the dictionary, but found it no help in this case.

  Hi there,

  Meta tags are used by Google to verify site ownership.

  There’s typically no need to manually add your site to Google, as they usually index sites automatically. But you can use Google Webmaster Tools to obtain information and statistics about your site’s placement in Google search results.
