Verification with Google Webmaster Tools?

Verification with Google Webmaster Tools?
Wed, 13 Dec 2006 01:37:24 +000
I'm having a problem verifying my site with Google and I've tried both the meta
tag and html file option to no avail.  I keep getting an error from Google
stating their system is busy or they're experiencing a temporary problem, but
this has been going on for a week now and I'm starting to think the problem is
on my end.  

 I've got the site map up and running, but I think I'm still missing something. 
Does anyone have any ideas or is anyone else experiencing the same problem?

 
TIA,

drmorley

 
Here's the sitemap: http://tehblogs.com/googlesitemapindex.ashx

The URL you should be submitting to Google is
http://tehblogs.com/googlesitemapindex.aspx not the ashx file.

Also did you do the verification for Google?  You would either create an html
file in the root of you site.  They give you a file name to use.  Or you put
something in the http headers.  One of those two items need to occur to prove
you own the site and can submit sitemaps on it's behalf.
