Google Updates the Webmaster Tools Verification Feature

Google updates the verification tool which will be easier for webmasters to verify their sites. There are three key changes:

(1) New-fangled look for HTML file verification process:

(2) If you make use of the META TAG verification option and you change your email address tied to that Google account, at present the sites is still remain verified.

(3) If you make use of the HTML file verification option, you no longer need to make clear in your mind that your 404 pages actually return a 404 server status code.

With this update, several publishing tools no longer have the capability to verify their sites with Google Webmaster Tools, one example is Google Sites. Google is attentive of this and functioning on addressing the issue.
