I am trying to verify my site so that it will be indexed on Google. Despite all my efforts it will not verify. Is there some type of access that you have to enable in order for it to be verified?
I am following the directions exactly:
Meta tag Upload an HTML file Add a DNS record
Copy the meta tag below, and paste it into your site's home page. It should go in the <head> section, before the first <body> section.
<meta name="google-site-verification" content="c-Kglylp9l8qCqDMLmtwc63dACKS82n_FgFmDxmHVHc" />
// for caching purposes var ZIPPED_URL = "/webmasters/verification/images/zipped_triangle.gif"; var UNZIPPED_URL = "/webmasters/verification/images/unzipped_triangle.gif" image1 = new Image(); image1.src = UNZIPPED_URL; function dropInfo(blockId, otherId, opt_image, opt_otherImage, opt_callback) { var blockNode = document.getElementById(blockId); if (blockNode.style.display == 'block'){ blockNode.style.display = 'none'; if (opt_image) { opt_image.src = ZIPPED_URL; } if (opt_callback) { opt_callback(blockId, false); } } else { blockNode.style.display='block'; if (opt_image) { opt_image.src = UNZIPPED_URL; } var otherNode = document.getElementById(otherId); if (otherId != 'none'){ if (otherNode.style.display == 'block') { otherNode.style.display = 'none'; if (opt_otherImage) { opt_otherImage.src = ZIPPED_URL; } } } if (opt_callback) { opt_callback(blockId, true); } } }
Show me an example
1. Download the verification file.
2. Upload the file to my site.
3. Confirm successful upload.
4. Click the verify button below.
and each time I come up with an error message: 404 not found,The resource requested could not be found on this server!
Any suggestions???
Thanks

It will take a few days for the googlebots to find your site so don't expect it to come up as soon as you've uploaded your file.
