    Dear Beth..Having problems

    Hi Beth,
    I have tries everything to get my new site at least to show upi in any search engine.

    Here is what it says....

    Verification status: NOT VERIFIED
    Last attempt Dec 7, 2008: We've detected that your verification file returns a status of 404 (Not found) in the header.

    Can you tell me what I'm doing wrong without to much trouble on your part?

    Thanks

    Sharon, can you give me the site, so I can look at the view source?

    Also, I'm thinking this is your Google sitemap? That not verifying won't mean they haven't found your site.

    I'm going to be in and out today - will look here to see if you've posted, and I'm sure Karen will be on also. She might catch it before me :)

      OK, I think it's Barter Buddies?

      First off - your Google analytics code is showing at the top of the page - that might be the whole problem - you need to go back and make sure you aren't missing a piece of the code - as it's not going where it belongs.

      One more comment - your pages have to state specifically where you are - as right now it looks like you can put in jobs to and from anywhere in the world. Make yourself THE place for YOUR community!

          Your google verify meta tag goes BETWEEN the head tags. they will give you the code...dont put it in an html box.. it needs to go in the header. Alternately you can open notepad. SAVE AS google9billion numbers . txt (they give you the name) Then ftp it to the site folder.

                I highly recommend uploading the 9billion file to your server and not putting it into your code as Google tend to lose their way to these after a while. Uploading the file is mush more longer lasting!

                P.S Deja vue on the location advice huh?
                Don't aim for success if you want it; just do what you love and believe in, and it will come naturally.

                          yes, are you laoding it into notepad?

                          Just put it direct into your public?html or if addon domain put in public_html/addonfoldername
