Thread: Adding Google META tag

I have been given a META tag to add to my site in HTML format. Where do I find that HTML list so that I can add it as suggested - between the two "Head" lines?

Hello

Right click on the page and choose page HTML at the bottom. You will see a tab that says "Between Head Tag". Or if it is a keyword simply right click on the page, click on page properties and enter your keyword and page description.

I have mentioned before many times to upload the file they gaive you rather than the html code. The reason I keep on saying this is because after a while (sometimes only a few weeks) Goggle will tell you that they don't recofnise the file anymore and you will do it over and over again.

The best way is to download the file name they give you, save an empty notepad using that file name and uploading it to your server.

Erm, I don't think you meant 'notepad' did you Ramsey?

My bad, I can see you did mean 'notepad', I didn't know that's how it was done, all I did was to save a BV file as the name that Google gave me and published it.

Marincky. Yes I will download the strip of code they gave me but do not know how to put it in the right place. Where is a notepad - as you put it? The instructions are clear from Google if you know the technical terms they use - which I do not. They said I can either attach it to my URL - OK but where? or downoad their strip of code and place it between the two headers. I understand that but where do I find the two headers in the HTML file? Feel rather lost!

Right click on the page and choose page HTML at the bottom. You will see a tab that says "Between Head Tag". Or if it is a keyword simply right click on the page, click on page properties and enter your keyword and page description.

"Notepad" is in windows; it is in my windows XP. MS Word has extra formatting that will distort anything copied from it. If you have both of these, you need to copy to notepad first, then copy from notepad to the html. :)

Karen,

Many thanks. I shall now see how I get on. I have found the HTML button and the file and can see the two "head" tags. I'll report back!

Your best bet and easiest way is to do this... (Forget Notepad)

Open a new page in BV. Leave it blank.. save it with the html file name Google gave you, Publish it.

Thanks to everybody's advice I am now verified by Google and the sitemap is in place. The forum really is superb.

Now let's see what might happen.
