Google Meta-Tags

Hope this is really easy...but darned if I can find out where you set the google meta tags for site verification..


<meta name="google-site-verification"...

Can't see the settings in for this Google feature anywhere...

Help!

could you please elaborate your question more ?

Are you looking for storing meta keywords or meta description on your website ?

I suspect I have confused things by the title (this easy to confuse myself at the moment let alone others...sorry...newbie) anyhow...

I am trying to add my site to Google (using SiteMaster Tools) and it requires the site verification through the adding of Meta-Tag to the page headers.

I can't see how to get this done. I figured out the Google analysis stuff and set that up in the global settings...but just can't see where to add the Meta-Tag.

Cheers,

Darren

Follow these steps:

1. Go to Google Webmasters Tools
2. Add your website
3. Verify the website (follow the steps or google for 'google verify website')
    You can Verify by more than 1 method:
    a) Google gives you some code to insert in your page, copy the code and paste it in your default page
    b) Second option (if you don't wanna go with first option), you will see right next to Verifying site, there is a drop down menu, in that menu select verify by adding google.html page, it gives you a HTML page, just add that page in nopCommerceStore folder

4. Open the google webmaster website details (dashboard)
5. Click Siteconfiguration > Sitemaps
6. Add a sitemap. It will popup a small box with a textbox; type sitemapseo.aspx in the textbox
7. Click Send Sitemap. The small box will disappear and a line will be displayed with a small clock.
That's it!

Google will now verify the sitemap and will display the number of pages that are in the sitemap

Remember you can get the sitemap (xml) of yuor website by : www.yourwebsite.com/sitemapseo.aspx

This thing is optional (depends on you, if you want to do it or not)

You can configure the contents of the sitemap by setting the values (true or false) for the following Settings from nopcommerce > Admin > Configuration > All Settings
SEO.Sitemaps.IncludeCategories  
SEO.Sitemaps.IncludeManufacturers  
SEO.Sitemaps.IncludeProducts  
SEO.Sitemaps.IncludeTopics  
SEO.Sitemaps.OtherPages

Thanks for the info...will go and try it out thanks

Your welcome, let me know if you need any help

Thanks that worked a treat..now to figure out Google base.

that's great (Please post which method you followed for verification and where did you paste the code if you followed 1st method - for other forum members here who are facing same problem)
