Time to verify
August 03, 2006
Very soon, we'll be doing one of our periodic
checks of verified sites.
As our documentation notes, we do this to make sure that the verification HTML file or meta
tag
still exists. If we don't find the file or tag during this check, the account will no longer show
that site as verified, and you'll no longer have access to diagnostics and statistics. If you find
that a site that previously verified no longer is, simply click the "Verify" link on the My Sites
page and upload the file or meta
tag again.
