Verification of the website ownership in Google Webmaster Tools

In order to verify your ownership of an online storefront in Google Webmaster Tools, login to your Google account at http://google.com/webmasters/tools/ and following the instructions below:

1. Click the "Add a site..." button.
2. Enter the URL of your website (storefront) and click "Continue".
3. On the next page choose the desired verification method from a drop-down list:

• A meta tag can be added both by owners of WebAsyst open-source licenses and users of WebAsyst online services. To verify ownership of the online storefront, open the backend of WebAsyst Shop-Script, navigate to section "Design -> Design editor" and click "Edit". Then open tab "Head" and add the provided code of a meta tag below line

  {$page_meta_tags}

  For example:

  {$page_meta_tags}
  <meta name="google-site-verification" content="JdiyZm0saoYl0hEL-YITPATL5PtPFtCsM8_040XIang" />

  Note: The fragment of code displayed in italics above is provided as an example only. This code should be copied from your Google account only!

  After adding the code click "Save template" in the design editor window and also click "Verify" in your Google account.

• Uploading an HTML file is available only to owners of WebAsyst Shop-Script open-source licenses. To verify your ownership, download the file using the link provided on the page and uploaded it to the server's directory in which WebAsyst Shop-Script is installed. Ensure that you have correctly uploaded the file and that it is accessible by clicking the confirmation link and click the "Verify" button.

• Adding a DNS record is available to owners of open-source licenses and users of accounts of the WebAsyst online services who have registered a domain name with a third-party registrar and have set it up for their online storefronts. Users of free accounts and paid accounts with own domain names registered though WebAsyst do not have access to this verification option.

  To make use of this option, add a TXT record in the DNS configuration of your domain name and add the code displayed in your Google account to it. Then click "Verify" and wait while Google checks your domain name.
