Forum Archive - Google Property Verification

Hi Not sure who to ask about this. We have 11 language sub-domains in use, with both http + https variants. Google successfully verifies 16 of the 22 s-d variant via the browser/file method. The remaining 5 (all 'http') will not verify by any of the alternative methods tried: browser/file TXT record CNAME record. Can you offer any suggestion(s) as to what the issue might be? TIA Eddie

Hi, You should be able to verify with DNS TXT record.

Indeed, but I already tried that and it still failed. See my previous message for what I have tried. I don't understand why it is just for 5 out of 21 and only http

?

Can you please stop translating Google Verification files e.g. googlexxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.html (x's replacing the actual digits) Result from http://it.4footyfans.com verifica google-site: googlexxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.html <!-- delivered by GTranslate v4.8.2 in 0.002s visit https://gtranslate.io --> The actual content of the file is: google-site-verification: googlexxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.html However, I do not understand why the other http sub-domains were successfully verified. TIA

Hi, Please use DNS verification method. You cannot use html file method . Regards, Yana
