I have gone through all the methods given to get my Web Site verified and none of them seems to Work. The web site has two addresses www.riversidecathotel.com and www.riversidecathotel.co.uk (so I only have 1 version of the site. I have registered the .com and tried placing the file in the root, but no luck (it does not get displayed publicly). I therefore removed the file and added a meta tag to the Home page and tried again. Same result - Authentication failed.
What do I need to do to get this to work?
