    I have been trying to get www.aperionpropertymgmt.com, verified through the webmaster tools using meta tag verification and have been unsuccessful.  I can't use the xml verifier because of my hosting company restrictions.  Any suggestions?

    Hi,

    I looked at your tag and you are missing a closing / at the end
    right now it is: <meta name="msvalidate.01" content="140B4D961C45A6517902CA74EF631F21">

    should be:

    <meta name="msvalidate.01" content="140B4D961C45A6517902CA74EF631F21" />

    Try that...

    Cheers!

    I am having the same problem, I can't verify ownership of my OLSB web site.

    I have tried with the code

    <meta name="msvalidate.01" content="78AD1FA94BA2128458498675C539B6B8" />

    and with

    %22%20%2F%3E%3Cmeta name=%22msvalidate.01%22 content=%2278AD1FA94BA2128458498675C539B6B8

    as suggested on http://3cloverproject.com/OfficeLiveTutorial.aspx#SEO

    There method for Google work a treat & the site is found by several seach criteria but Live Search won't find the code in an OLSB page.

    How can I fix this?

    OK, I have changed the code to look as it should be, and webmaster tools still fails to authenticate.  Is there something else I can look at to fix this?  Thanks.
