Verify a site using Google Webmaster Tools

    I try to verify my website but I still get this

    Verification status: NOT VERIFIED
    Our system has experienced a temporary problem.

    I tried both meta tag and html file with a html file.
    Any help to solve this problem would be welcome.

    This happens when Google's servers are busy (making money). As long as you copy the Meta Tag version to your home page and place it "here":

    <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
    <html><head><meta HTTP-EQUIV="content-type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
    <title>Dallas Internet Marketing: Search Engine Optimization SEO, Online Marketing Advertising: PPC Techniques Secrets Tips Dallas Fort Worth</title>
    <meta name="description" content="Dallas Fort Worth Internet Marketing Services company offering search engine optimization (SEO), pay-per-click (PPC), link building services and online advertising advise - [ Catanich Marketing Services ]">
    <meta name="keywords" content="dallas internet marketing consulting search engine marketing consulting dallas fort worth texas tx internet marketing search engine consultant consulting" >

    <meta name="verify-v1" content="0IV3Hdg2Y8D5v6CMnezFHW83oQdaD4piUhyTEaUXtjw=" />
    <meta name="y_key" content="8fa63e435192cc88" />
    <meta name="msvalidate.01" content="297D08476EF14B2A8160DE49FDA1729A" />
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="http://www.catanich.com/global.css" type="text/css" media="screen" charset="utf-8">


    You will be fine.

    If you are using free hosting, or have a redirect scenario, then you will have other problems.

    So what do you see when you click on the URL they ask you to use to verify placement (i.e. samplesite.com/ad87afs86fsa6f8f.html)? Do you get a 404 Not Found or do you get a blank page. If you get a blank page, it trouble on their end. If it's a 404, the problems on your end.

    Thanks for your answer, but it's not clear for me.
    i have only the first meta tag -verify-v1- and I don't have the others -y_key & msvalidate.01-. Are y_key & msvalidate.01 necessary? Are tey universal tags?

    I don't, but I don't use the META tag. I just use their alternative and create a Web page only they can access. I'm not going to waste my bandwidth shoving code down real peoples' throats when it's only there to satisfy a search engine.

    Problem Solved. I verified my web site but still getting that message. I ignored it. I waited for 2-3 days and it's done. Google done his work adn auto-verified my website.
    Thanks technocrazzy again ;)
