  I have the exact same problem on all the sites in my account. The code is in place see for example www.imponline.com When I added the sites the codes weren't in place, they where added later, but now when I am trying to verify them it is not working

  I've been having the same problem for one of my blogs http://blog.livedoor.jp/syoshii/ for weeks. I added the meta tag but the webmaster tool doesn't recognize it. I have no idea why this happens. Please help!

  Have you tried using the html verification method for webmaster tools?

  Hello,

   

  We apologize for the validation issues you are currently having. Please understand that these tools are still in beta and we are working on a solution to the known issue. There is another thread on this issue: http://forums.microsoft.com/webmaster/showpost.aspx?postid=3067675&siteid=79&mode=1&sb=0&d=1&at=7&ft=11&tf=0&pageid=0 You may want to try the suggestions Jeremiah (and Rupesh for the blog issues) made earlier in the thread to see if they work to solve the problem.

   

   

  Thanks,

  Unfortunatelly I can't use the XML validation because the blog doesn't let us upload files.

   

  I also tried Rupest's sugestion

   

  Code Block

  Replace " with &quot; < with &lt; and > with &gt; to solve the problem
  i.e.
  
  

  &lt;meta name=&quot;msvalidate.01&quot; content=&quot;CA02E8261AB2404A936F162CBEB4EC03&quot;/&gt;
  

  
  for sitemap submit:- http://yourblogname.blogspot.com/atom.xml
  

  
  But it doesn't work either, because what happens is that it just prints the whole thing on screen. And even so, I tried to run validate and didn't go

   

  Please post back when you have a solution for this!

   

  Thanks,

  Same here, my blog doesn't support file upload except image files and the directory for the files is not in the same domain as the blog anyway so I can't use verification by xml file.

  I got it to work! I followed the steps found here:

   

  http://solutionsforofficelive.com/googlewebmastertools.aspx

   

  It didn't work at first but then I removed the google id and it worked!

   

  Try the following:

   

  1. Paste the following into notepad:

   

  %22%20%2F%3E%3Cmeta name=%22verify-v1%22 content=%22

   

  2. Now go to the code that Google gives you. Copy everything inbetween content="      " >.

   

  3. Now paste this into notepad.

   

  4. Now go to your home page, defaut.aspx, and paste the code in the keywords section.

   

  5. Go back to Google and click verify.
