Verify your website

2013-04-23T18:26:53Z

Phulwariya: /* Google sites */ Phulwariya

{{RightTOC}}
You must [https://www.mywot.com/user/register register an account] to associate your website(s) to.

==Claim your site ==

Go to your user [https://www.mywot.com/user/ profile].

Click on the ''My Sites'' menu tab.

Enter your site's domain name in the text input box. Click '''Add'''.
You should now see that WOT added the domain to ''your sites'' list.

; ''Subdomains''
: Please do not claim and verify subdomains if you are the owner of the root (parent) domain. Subdomains [[Rating_subdomains|inherit]] the root domain's reputation.

== Verify ==
WOT verification creates a unique string to use to claim your domain. This string can be in the form of a META Tag, a Keyword, or an HTML file.

Since the string is unique to the domain, if you are adding and verifying multiple domains, you'll need to compete this process for each. You cannot use 1 verification code for more than 1 domain.

Click on the '''[verify]''' link.
You will be presented with a drop-down select menu with the following two choices:
=== HTML file ===
# Download the '''.html file''' and upload it to http://YOUR_DOMAIN.COM. Do '''not''' edit the filename or contents.
# Make sure that you can view http://YOUR_DOMAIN.COM/mywot_uploaded_file.html in your browser '''before''' verifying your site.
# Once the file is viewable, return to your profile and click the '''Verify''' submit button.
<blockquote>''Note'': If our servers cannot access the verification file, the problem is usually due to an incorrectly configured web server on the other end. Sometimes web servers refuse to serve clients who don't send some specific headers in the request, for example. Please send us a [http://www.mywot.com/support/feedback/general support request] and we'll see why it is failing for your site.</blockquote>
This choice requires having FTP access.

=== Meta tag ===
# Copy the generated meta tag, and paste it into your site's home page. It should go in the <head> section, before the first <body> section. <code><meta name="wot-verification" content="mywot_generated_code"/></code>
# Return to your profile and click the '''Verify''' submit button.

You can use your CMS control panel to edit your page and insert the META tag or you can FTP your modified page.

==== Google sites ====

# Copy the generated META tag information from your Profile > My sites > Verify
# Sign in to your Control Panel
# Click more -> Manage Site
# navigate to Google Webmaster Tools
# paste the Meta tag code
# click Save
# return to WOT profile; click Verify
''Italic text''

==== Wordpress ====
credit: [http://www.mywot.com/forum/15946-claiming-problem?comment=109166#comment-109166 mentalist3d]
# Login to your site and go to the dashboard.
:: Once in the Dashboard go to 'Appearance > Editor'
:: In the editor screen make sure your current theme is selected, and find the file 'header.php', click to open.
# Open a new tab or window and go to your WOT profile, then 'My Sites', click on 'Verify', where is says 'Authentication method:' select 'Meta Tag' and copy the code displayed.
# Switch back to your WordPress Tab/Window, and look for the following code: </head> just before that code, paste the WOT meta tag you copied, then click on 'Update File'.
# Once the file is updated, switch back to your WOT Tab/Window and click 'Verify'

=== Keyword ===
If you cannot place a new meta tag in your home page, add the ''generated (alphanumeric) keyword'' to your list of keywords.
<pre><meta name="wot-verification" content="28bcd948d487708da745", keyword, Generated_ALPHANUMERIC" /></pre>

'''Note:'''
The HTML file name or the META tag / Keyword content will change if
you login using a different account or if
you delete the site from ''My Sites'' before verifying it.

== Site has been verified ==
After you have verified your site with WOT, you may remove the META tag, generated Keyword, or the uploaded HTML file.

== Website description ==

By default, WOT incorporates the Meta Description on the domain's scorecard.
<pre><meta name="description" content="website description" /></pre>

This description can be changed on the Scorecard if the site is verified.
# Open the ''My Sites'' page in your profile
# Click ''Edit'' in the options column of your verified site
# Enter the new description in the text input block
# Click ''Save''

== Free hosts ==
You can claim a site as yours as long as the site is either a domain name
* example.com
Or the site is a subdomain
* my_site.example.com
and you can either include the Meta Tag or generated Keyword into the header of the (generated) index page, or FTP the HTML file.

If your site is contained within a URL, you cannot add it to your ''My Sites''

WOT does not rate URL's

== Mediawiki ==
[http://www.mywot.com/forum/32072-claiming-a-wiki Claim a wiki]
<blockquote>This is a forum discussion which references a few Mediawiki extensions as a possible alternatives in creating HTML meta tags. These have not been tested and are not official Mediawiki hacks. If anyone has successfully used one of these extensions to verify their wiki in their WOT user profile, please reply to the forum discussion.</blockquote>
