Google webster tools is acting real wierd - site verification??

Discussion in 'Google' started by filtalr, Dec 23, 2006.

    Just stopped by Google webmaster tools and it is saying my sites aren't verified (although they have been for a long time) and also it's saying none of my site's pages are in their index -- and I know damn well they are and they rank well for some important keywords.

    I went ahead and clicked the verify site button (just to humor them) and it gives the bull about uploading the file and I checked my site and the file is there. Then I clicked the verify button and it says "temporarily unable...blah, blah, blah ...."

    Anybody else having this problem???

    That's odd.
    I've had problems verifying my sites (html verification,I assume you use that too),have no idea on this either,try "meta tag verification" then.

    Yes I use .html and have already verified and the files are in my sites' page logs. Checked index with "site:..etc." and shows all pages indexed yet webster tools says they're not. Can you try and see if it is showing the same issue for your sites? I know darn well they are indexed and verified...???

    Same here. Looks like a google bug...

    All of my sitemaps look like this:

    1)
    No pages from your site are currently included in Google's index. Indexing can take time.

    2)
    Verify your site.

    This happens quite regulary to my sitemaps..... About 2-3 hours later everything is fine again..

    So im NOT worried

    Yeppir - all is well again today -- sites are fully indexed and verified. What in the world is up with Google? Their datacenters have still not settled down from the last update and now this... Ya gotta wonder if the DOMZ (spelling intentional) bad karma is affecting Google?? :D
