Greetings all,
Can some advise how to add the google site verification, "google-site-verification: google53b5d2ba995ff831.html” to my Freeway 7 site? This in needed in order to link to my site in my YouTube videos-it needs to registered with google as an “Associated Website”.
Thanks!
Chris

Use an FTP or SFTP application, like Panic Transmit (expensive and worth every penny) or Cyberduck (free), to upload the file into your site’s main folder (alongside index.html) so the Google server can see it there.

Thanks Walter! So, keeping in mind that I am barely in intermediate user, could you clarify the destination in the main folder when using FTP? Literally “alongside index.html”? Sorry for what must seem a rather stupid question!

When you use an FTP application to access your server, you will need to confirm that your settings are the same as the Upload settings in Freeway. Then you should see all of the current content of your site. Chief among that will be the index.html (home) page, and a Resources folder, and then there may additionally be some sub-folders. But you should see those things at a minimum. If you don’t, then you’ll have to hunt through the folders that you do see until you find them.
If all you do is enter your username and password in the FTP app, you will probably be initially landed in your home folder. Traditionally, your web root folder (where all your web pages are) is inside that home folder, and is often named something like public_html or htdocs or some other thing that only a sysadmin could love. You want to ensure that you put your validation file directly in that folder, not your home folder or a subfolder of the web root. Otherwise, Google’s bot will not know where to find it.

Now the other thing that you ought to do is use that same account to start a Google “Webmaster Tools” account for the website. Then make a XML sitemap and submit that within the Webmaster Tools. Then do the same thing for the Bing Webmaster Tools. That will really help to be sure the search engines crawl and index your website in a timely manner.

Thanks, Robert! I’m not sure this will be very important for my site as it serves more as an archive of my work and a resource for those who are specifically interested in it, and not as an inherently commercial enterprise. So the folks who need to find it are most often invited to browse. But it sure can’t hurt to make it more visible!

The information is something that should be done for each and every website that needs to be found by the search engines.
Also each time you update a website, you ought to make a new XML sitemap and submit it to the Bing and Google Webmaster Tools. It really does make the search engines happy that you are talking to them.
