Once you verify that you&#8217;re the site owner, they can provide you with comprehensive statistics and error information about the pages in your site.<\/p>\n<p>Till recently they required you to <strong>upload a blank predefined html file<\/strong> into the root of your website server to verify site ownership. But this was not possible for Blogger blog as you has no access to upload such a file to the root server. Now they have <a href=\"http:\/\/sitemaps.blogspot.com\/2006\/05\/more-about-meta-tag-verification.html\" rel=\"noopener\">introduced a new way<\/a> to verify ownership by including a <strong>predefined META tag<\/strong> into your site&#8217;s home page in the HEAD section of the page.<br \/>\n<code><_META name=\"verify-v1\" content=\"unique-string\"><\/code><\/p>\n<p>Google Sitemaps is an excellent tool and introduction of this new to verify ownership will help a lot of Blogger blogs use the service to track site statistics and error information. Since I moved to WordPress, I am using the Google Sitemap Generator WordPress Plugin which automatically pings Google when I update.
