Website verifaction with Google
-
I cannot seem to get my site to verify on Google webmaster tools. I followed all of the steps under tools but every time I go to verify it I get an error message saying “Verification failed for ……../ using the Meta tag method (less than a minute ago). We couldn’t find the verification meta tag”. I have checked that my site is not set to private.
Would really appreciate some help as it is very frustrating! ThanksThe blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

See:
https://en.support.wordpress.com/webmaster-tools/
https://en.support.wordpress.com/search-engines/The only Google site verification method that works for wordpress.com hosted blogs is here https://en.support.wordpress.com/webmaster-tools/#google-search-console
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/

I am not worried about the search engines, I know that is all okay. But I want to use the stats for my website that Google Analytics provides over and above that of WordPress. I don’t seem to be able to do this without verifying my site. Thanks
