    Hello,
    I would like to know, can i verify subdirectory in Google webmaster tool?

    I have this domain: www.seo-service-provider.org
    and this is subdirectory: www.seo-service-provider.org/directory

    I have added these sites in Google webmaster tool. Now webmaster tool did not provide any verification data for my subdirectory. It seems subdirectory is automatically verified in Google webmaster tool.

    When I check my subdirectory in Google webmaster tool, I get this error:

    "Google couldn't access your site because of a DNS error." I don't know why.

    Please help on this issue.

    Thanks

    Yes you can setup sub directories for Google webmaster tools. The DNS verification may not have been setup correctly. You need to verify subdomans and subdirectories as you would an individual site.

    you just need to add the main domain. no need to add the sub-directories as it is part of your site. once the site is added, all the pages and directories are covered.

    Of course you can. Just add instead of the main domain, when verifying the site, the sub domain or directory.

    You don't need to submit directories of your website. Your main domain covers up all.
