I can't find my website!

[Rhys]

ROTFL I just followed google's instructions and put a page called: http://sagephotoworld.com/google0ee4810433b4ac9d.html
on my site. It couldn't see it. That tells me a lot about Google!

1. I've created a file named google0ee4810433b4ac9d.html.
2. I've uploaded the file to http://sagephotoworld.com/ and can view http://sagephotoworld.com/google0ee4810433b4ac9d.html in my browser.

1) Don't modify the page.

2) Your screwy redirect could be interfering.

3) You can go the other route and put their snippet of code into an existing page if this way doesn't work.

You will have to use the metatag option, this is because of the redirect.

Your ownership of website can not be verified with redirect so you will have to add the metatag they give you.

Trouble is with 123-reg I can only put 200 characters as a meta tag

Oh ok. I don't know much about meta tags. I have a web site but just registered it with Google. Unless I did meta tags when I first set it up I don't think I have done them. I don't remember how (sorry) But I also registered it with yahoo and MSN.

1) Meta tags will not improve your rankings.

2) Upwards of 150 characters in the meta tag will get clipped in the site's page description in the search results anyway.
