This plugin Adds Site Authorization meta tags to your home page, to allow search engines to authoritate your ownership.


== Description ==

I read the other day on Google that if you buy a domain with a checkered past that has been punished by the search engines and you want it to be reincluded in the index... they said to VERIFY your site to get it re-indexed.  This plugin checks your meta tags to verify they are live, on-demand!



== Installation ==

This section describes how to install the plugin and get it working.

1. Upload search-engine-verify.zip to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory, unzip and activate
2. Go to your Options Panel and open the "AA Search Engine Verify" submenu. /wp-admin/options-general.php?page=search-engine-verify.php
3. Enter in the meta verification tags and hit the "Update" Button.




== Frequently Asked Questions ==

Do I need a Google Webmaster account and a Yahoo Site Explorer account?
Yes. The plugin options page has links to create both.

Does this output on every page?
No. It only outputs on the home page as per google and yahoos instruction.



==== Example Output ===
Here is what the plugin outputs on my homepage.

<meta name="verify-v1" content="00y24rDZT26L9jNa53+9abYafa07A4MCSB8f2MIfAVk=" />
<meta name="y_key" content="b5d1fb5436bfa5f7" />
