[VIDEO] How to verify your WordPress site in Google Webmaster Tools using WordPress SEO by Yoast kzbin.info/www/bejne/bGnVdIJ4eNp3qq8

Boy, I went through such a hard time associating my website to youtube... several videos, none explained the details of the really important part (how to embed the code to your website)!!!!! Thanks SO MUCH!!... This was driving me crazy!! THANK YOU!!

[@wplearninglab]

I had the same problem, even trying to look for problems to solve on my website so it can be seen in Google, been searching so long now how to get my site into Google and it's frustrating 😤 as no one wants to help you.

[@saketkale8160]

using the Meta tag method (less than a minute ago). We couldn't find the verification meta tag .. i am not able to verify? :/

[@wplearninglab]

+Saket Kale Sometimes when that happens it's easiest to try one of the other verification methods rather than trying to figure out what went wrong with the meta tag method.

[@s.e.5957]

I have a question: can you verify this way if you don't have a child theme on your website? I tried adding the tag myself but I can't as I don't have this child theme. I'm scared it will overwrite something as you said it add the tag for you to the code? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks for amazing video !!

[@elektrisklighter5859]

I have implemented the same as this on the video but not on SEO, I had done it with the (hostgator control panel) .. should I do it again like on the video?

Hi I am new to SEO world. Could I verify my GSC with google analytics and then generate my sitemap with Yoast. In this instance, do I still have to verify my GSC with Yoast? Thanks.

+Larentay Walker Glad you got it figured out. Thanks for watching!

[@AbhayKanojiaMichaelilu]

if i added one time sitemap by yoast to web masters. there is required to sumit again and again sitemap on webmasters ?

[@wplearninglab]

+ILU 777 Good question. Once your sitemap is successfully submitted you don't have to resubmit it. When content is added to your website it will be automatically added to your sitemap and then Google will visit your sitemap on a schedule that Google sets to find your new content. The only exception is if you change the URL your sitemap you will have to resubmit it the sitemap.

[@AbhayKanojiaMichaelilu]

i have deleted some categories and now google showing me warning . what to do ?

[@wplearninglab]

+ILU 777 What is the warning message?

[@AbhayKanojiaMichaelilu]

URLs not accessible error , becoz i deleted some categories ,

[@wplearninglab]

+ILU 777 Try removing the sitemap from Google Webmaster Tools and then resubmit it.

[@Kenzi_Mae]

Thank you very much!

[@moskcustoms]

thank you very much!!! )

[@LabakesVlog]

I know this is not related to this video but I have a question. Yesterday I was trying to change my theme on WordPress and somehow I added my ads code wrongly in the header. So I changed to another theme but I found out my post shows in full on my homepage (blog) but once a post is clicked it will show just the first sentence. And this is happening to all my post. I am trying not to freak out but I am. Pls any help will be appreciated. My readers are complaining they can't see post in full. Thanks

Thank you Sir...

[@whocares7912]

Great tutorial. Nice and simple. I hate it when people make tutorials and then go on to say "well I've already verified this site blah blah blah". What about the xml sitemap? Do you have a video for that please?

[@wplearninglab]

+Kris Bumhead Hey Kris, your comment fell through the cracks and I didn't see it until now. If you still need it, here's a video for creating XML sitemaps quickly and easily: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Zni5kn2YmtSEotk

[@wplearninglab]

Hi Febri, Sorry for my delay in responding! Were you following the steps in this video? Could your robots.txt file be disallowing access to your site?

how do i find network setup in tool i don't see what do i do ? i have window 10 i know that wordpress version 3.5 have it

[@aman681]

Thanks for the video mate. I am still facing a problem after doing all this. My website is not being able to get verified. Surprisingly, a couple of months ago I could verify the website (both www and without www) and the webmaster tools had started showing me the data as well. Suddenly, it got unverified by itself and since then I am not being able to verify both the versions again. Please help!!

[@wplearninglab]

+Amandeep Singh Multani Hi Amandeep! Strange that it unverified on its own, did you move hosts or something? Do you have a caching plugin installed? They can cause problems like this. If you do have one you can try clearing the cache and then deactivating the plugin. Then try to verify the site again.

[@aman681]

Thank you for your reply.

[@aman681]

I could do it now. Yeah...will try and find that out as well.

[@wplearninglab]

+Amandeep Singh Multani Let me know how it goes

[@aman681]

Sure.

[@saurabhtiwari-kg9vn]

first thing to verify our website then create sitemap and after apply for Google Adsense am I right please tell me sir🙏

[@wplearninglab]

Hi Saurabh, You'll need to verify your site before you create a sitemap and add the sitemap to your Google Search Console account. But your Google adsense account you can apply for at any time. You just need to have a domain name (and preferably a website on that domain) to apply. I hope that helps and thanks for watching!

[@saurabhtiwari-kg9vn]

WordPress Tutorials - WPLearningLab thank you so much you are really kind hearted person you always reply whenever I got a problem

[@wplearninglab]

No problem Saurabh, I always do my best to reply to questions :)

[@ARPNAVIDUSHI]

Hi not sure what i am doing wrong but i have verified www. version of my website and trying to verify without www. and where am i suppose to upload my verification file? i was told i need to verify both with and without www. Appreciate any help.

[@wplearninglab]

+ARPNA VIDUSHI Hi Arpna, you actually don't have the verify both separately because you don't want there to be www and non-www versions of your website. That's bad for SEO. What you want to do is verify one the one you want www or non-www. And then inside that property in Google Webmaster Tools set the "Preferred Domain". Here's how: support.google.com/webmasters/answer/44231 I hope that helps!

[@ARPNAVIDUSHI]

Thank you so much for quick response. Saw some other tutorials which said verify bothe version. dint know thats not good for SEO. Do you have any tutorial for how to carefully chose title and description for Page SEO please? and Any tutorial for understanding how google analytics works?

[@TechwithParvez]

Sir plz share "How To Configure SEO By Yoast WordPress plugin"

[@MikeKollin]

I am doing another video to understand how to use my SEO Plug in better. And they are asking us to do this same thing to verify google webmaster tools verification. but.,.. I did this a long time ago... and... I noticed inside this same box is my url. Is that what normally happens when it is verified? I do have all of my pages on this same page that is on your video here. So I assume it is ok!

[@Yagyiu]

I have a question, this verifycation method is only for normal wordpress site ? I can verificate a free wordpress blog? for example "namesite.wordpress.com" Sorry for my English : ) Thank You.

[@Pipsterz]

Hi, I'm using Yoast and the verification failed. "We couldn't find the verification meta tag." Do you have an update or fix please? Thanks.

[@CorneliusBenton]

How do you setup Bing Webmaster Tools?

[@wplearninglab]

Cornelius Benton Hey Cornelius. Thanks for the question! I just created a Bing Webmaster Tools webmaster tools verification video right here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ioqpk2N7pdGYftU. Tomorrow I'll be publishing a tutorial showing how to add your sitemap to Bing Webmaster Tools.

[@CorneliusBenton]

Thanks. I'm going to check it out.

[@altairwebgraphic2918]

Hi I've tried this way too and keep coming out of this message from google search console "We could not verify your property....." Is it a theme issue? I tried to write several times in the header.php file I've tried different themes I did not happen now I wanted to understand what was the reason? Thank you

[@wplearninglab]

+Zornitsa Marinova It can be caused by all sorts of reasons, that's why Google search console gives so many different ways to verify. In your case it was probably something to do with the theme's header. If you keep moving the meta tag higher in the file it should work eventually. Then you would know what in the header file was blocking the verification. I hope that helps and thanks for watching!
