    Default Webmaster Tools New Code

    I am trying to verify one of my sites and google is asking for this code

    <meta name="google-site-verification" content="thenumber" />

    and the cms is generating this

    <meta name="verify-v1" content="thenumber" />

    westerraburley.com

    and

    Hello David

    Looks like Google changed the way they do verification tags.

    I'll have to talk to the Boss to see what the plan is.

    Hey guys.

    For existing sites if you need to use the new verification code you will need to get a work order for us to change the code since they were coded before Google made this change.

    All new sites installed to a dev after today will contain the correct new code.

    Cal, your dev was installed on September 25th. So you still have the old code and will need a work order.

    My site still says "verified" in webmaster tools. Is this something we are all going to need to do?

    No, only those who go through the verification process again need to do this. If you are already verified then you shouldn't need to do anything.

    Hello Cal

    Not that I'm aware of. We currently put a meta tag in with the name msvalidate.01

    Have they changed it?
