The Best Niche Marketing Tools and Strategies

I've been trying for the last hour to get my site verified by Google so I can use the webmaster tools. My site is built using a package from godaddy.com and I'm a little limited as to where I can add HTML etc. The Google instructions advise that I should add the following tag <meta name="verify-v1" content="PCHP9jdTI6aaOEBgWbYBU74BufaOLMZUI3I0XqeRCtg=" /> into the HEAD section of my page. I think I've managed to do this (it's there when I go to my page and use view source functionality to review the HTML) but when I verify it on Google it says it can't find it. My site is as www.jli-international.com. Can anybody see anything glaringly obvious that I've done wrong? Please help me!!! :-)

you put it in there wrong. It's in the right area, but you put it in there wrong. You put it in like this: <meta name="head" content="verify-v1 content=.... You should have it exactly like they said: <meta name="verify-v1" content="

try using the second method by google webmaster tool which is to add a file with a specific name to your site root

Hi. When I did mine, I temporarily changed the name of my current index.html file and created a new index.html file that contained nothing other than the head tag that google specified. Once you've been verified, you can take it out. Give this a shot. If you need more help, grab me on yahoo.

copy the whole code and just paste it, its that simple.

SoyLatte said it correctly. It MUST be exactly as Google gave it to you so a copy/paste should work just fine. It did for my site. Ron

Try to put it just top of the head tag.
