  i have tried to verify my site http://www.lemasdelafontaine.fr with google via webmaster tools, entered the html meta tag as indicated by http://en.support.wordpress.com/webmaster-tools/ but google denies the verification / does not seem to find the inserted meta tag. Can you verify if there is a caching problem or other? My site has been online for weeks now and is still not listed in google! (i have to type the exact url to get to it)

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Can you try the following? I just went through those steps, and it appeared to work correctly on my side.

  1. Visit the Webmaster Tools site here and login using your Google credentials:

     http://en.support.wordpress.com/webmaster-tools/

  2. Enter your full site address (tnrcycle.wordpress.com for example)
  3. Click “Alternate Method” and select “HTML Tag” as shown in the screenshot here:
     http://d.pr/i/17ZR1
  4. Copy the entire code like this:
     <meta name="google-site-verification" content="BUNCH OF NUMBERS" />
  5. Paste that full code under Google Webmaster Tools here:
     https://tnrcycle.wordpress.com/wp-admin/tools.php
  6. Click “Save Changes” at WordPress.com
  7. From the Webmaster Tools page, click “Verify”
