In reply to John.

Hi John,

You can view this video as it may help you;

Otherwise, make sure that when you publish the verification file, it is not a duplicate file (in which case a (1) or a (2) will be added to the end of the file name, and Google Webmaster Tools will not be able to verify it.

Hi Like others I have been having problems verifying my account. I did get it working, but tried so many ways, i forgot which one worked. I deleted it by mistake and now have to work it all out again.I have used Rage to upload the verification file, but like many others, when I go back into Webmaster, it will still not verify.

The html is in the site folder (TMPP) so I have no idea what is going wrong. I host 2 sites through Mobile me and Rage will not even access the 2nd site

Yes you do. Very similar to what the video points out. If you have multiple websites on one hosting account, whether it be FTP or MobileMe, you will not be publishing to your root folder. You must publish to the folder in which the website is located.

I think the verification file is in the root folder of my hosting account. I have two websites in that hosting account. Do i need to move the verification file into the website i’m working with here?

You should be able to see the verification file along with all your other files. You do not need to verify your site more than once. You don’t have to republish the sitemap either, only republish it if you have made significant changes to your site by adding or subtracting pages.

When I published the sitemap to my ftp as well as the verification file, where did it go? Should i be able to see it in my Godaddy account? Because I don’t. I don’t have to republish the verification file and sitemap each time I republish the site do i?

Actually I watched your video not Rage’s. Don’t want to pay that money just yet.

I watched that and did use Rage’s software. I changed the title tags and added tags to a couple pages as well. i used about 10 keywords for the main page. I used some variations in word search terms for the different title tags. I will try to wait patiently and see. Thanks for your help as there’s no way i would have figured this out this quickly without your video. Kudos to you. Thanks a lot!

In some cases it can take a few days, but I would prepare yourself for about a week or so.

How familiar are you with SEO? There are other ways of getting your site noticed, and then ranking higher by search engines. I would suggest seeing if the iWeb SEO Walkthrough video is right for you. http://www.ragesw.com/educate.php
