google site verification error

[Athlon]

Hi Guys

I am setting up Google analytics for my directory. It asks me to verify the site by uploading an html file or adding code to meta tags.

I opted to upload html file but Google wont accept verification because the Status returns 200 in header of 404 not found page which Google views as a security issue which means anyone could verify the site not just the site owner.

Has anyone else found a problem with this and how did you get around it.

I have the latest free version v 2.2.0

Thanks
Paul

add the code to the header.tpl instead OR rename the htaccess to something else until verified

Thanks James.

Problem resolved.

If I wanted to put in meta descriptions and meta tags would header.tpl be the place to put them?

[James]

yes in 2.x ...

Here comes the pitch ;)

Upgrade and enjoy dynamically created meta tags

at the end of the header.tpl and it works :)
