    I clicked ‘update’ then clicked Verify at Webmaster Tools. Then I got a message saying: Verification failed using the Meta tag method – we couldn’t find the verification meta tag.

    How do I fix this?

  • You have placed the code correctly. If verification failed, it can be of other reasons. Try one of the alternative methods such as uploading an html file to the root of your site.

    I don’t see it in the page source.

    Why not just use the standard method and upload the file they provide to the site root and visit it?

    @andrew What’s the source page?

    Uploading the html file to the root of the site is probably too advanced for me. Pasting the code in the header.php is the easiest one, but since it didn’t work, what can I do with the source page you mentioned? Or something else?

    I was incorrect, it is in there. To view a page source in most browsers, right click on the page select “View Source” or something to that effect. This is the code being sent to the browser, not to be confused with “source code”.

    Do you know what ftp is? That would be the most direct route.

    @msbelle,

    Your code is already inserted at the right place. Go to your Google Webmaster tools and click on the verify button again. Please note that for some strange reasons it may show as FAILED. If so, you can choose the Google Analytics method. If your analytics account code is inserted, it will be easy.

    Yes, I went back to click Verify and everything appears to be working fine.

    Thanks for you help.

    Glad to know that you could verify your account.
