WORDPRESS.COM BLOG GOOGLE VERIFICATION TIPS

1. Assuming that you already have a google account. Login to your google account through the google webmaster tools

2. Add your URL - ex: http://yourdomain.wordpress.com

3. Go to the statistics tab and click on the link that says verify.

4. Once you click verify, the google webmaster tool will ask you which method you want to verify your site. Choose "Upload an HTML file"

5. Now, a verification code will appear once you select the "Upload an HTML file" and you will be told to upload a file similar to this google4f645e3adsdaa48g3a41z.html

verification code: google4f645e3adsdaa48g3a41z.html

Question is how do we upload the html file.

6. Leave the webmaster tool open. Now go to your wordpress.com blog dashboard. Create a New Page (please note PAGE not post) and paste the verification code that googlewebmaster tool gave you as title (subject).

ex: google4f645e3adsdaa48g3a41z.html

Your permalink should look like this:
http://yourdomain.wordpress.com/google4f645e3adsdaa48g3a41zhtml/

Do not write anything on the text box. just leave it blank.

7. Press publish. Your page is now publish. Wait a few second.

8. Go back to your googlewebmaster tool and hit verify.

That's it. It works for me!
