    Hi,
    Just found that my site became unverified for no reason.
    I have tried both uploading html file and adding meta tag, but always received error:
    My site is live, I can open even verification file, but Google doesn't :( .
    Help urgently, please. My site going down in SERP!

    I suggest you wait and don't worry. As the same happened to me few days back, and the problem was solved automatically after few hours.

    Same experience with me 4 days ago. I the reverified in the last 3 days and still failed... Last night, suddenly, it's ended. I successfully verify the the site.. just wait and re-submit to make sure it's verified.

    Yes, same issue here with a quite heavily trafficked site
    I kept trying and even opened a thread here for help!!!

    Well yesterday i just deleted my robots.txt file (yes i actually did it) and again tried verifying, in the first instance it gave me the same error
    I tried again a second time after 5 minutes, there it goes, it was verified. All my other sites faced no problem, Now the fun part was when i got access after verification in the sitemap section it was giving me all successful data of sitemap download by google in the last few days, so that means the google bot didn't have any problem in accessing the domain, then what was the whole issue for -God errr Google knows
