bobbyfamilytree Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 I think its index.htmlI'm sure google does mention where to put it though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arnold Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 Francis,In which file and where to put the "verify" META tag in order to access to the stats by Google ?In your "main" webpage, probably index.php, index.htm, or some variant. Further, put it between your head tags: <head> and </head>.Arnold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theKiwi Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 Find out from your TNG Admin ------> Setup ------> General Settings area what is the name of the meta file you are using- meta.html or meta.phpOnce you know that, you will need to edit that file to add whatever line you need to add for Google to do its thing.Out of curiousity what is it that you need to add for the Google stats?For my sites with the Google analytics I have put the few lines of Javascript into my footer.html file.Roger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Goodstadt Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 I suspect that Francis is talking about the validation necessary for the use of Google's Webmaster Tools. This gives stats on the performance of your site within Google-land (search ranking, Googlebot crawls, site and link evaluation) whereas Google Analytics is focused on tracking visitors.There are two ways to be validated. The first and easiest for TNG is to upload a small text file to your site root with a filename given by Google. However as access to the root is sometimes not availible to some there is a second method which is to include a line of code in the meta of your html.The correct place to insert meta data is as Roger states in the meta.php or meta.html file.All the best in your hunt for a good ranking!Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theKiwi Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 The first and easiest for TNG is to upload a small text file to your site root with a filename given by Google.Ahhh I'd forgotten about that part of the process. Yes, I do have files with names that Google assigned at the top level of each of my sites.The JavaScript for the actual statistics goes into the footer.html or footer.php file for your site.Roger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
