Bing Webmaster Authorisation...?

**AutoEvo** · 20 July 2011, 09:20 AM

Hi all,

I'm trying to get my site up on bing and in their webcenter they say I need to add either and XML file or a Meta tag to prove athority over my website. Makes perfect sense to me.... my two questions are:

1 - which should I do, the XML file or the meta tag?
2 - how do I go about doing whichever option above you advise?

I tried the place holder/html thing on the xml file but all i get is a load of gobbldee gook showing on my webpage when I publish it... so i'm guessing it's probably the meta tag you'll advise but, I'll be guided by you.

thank you!

<html>
<head>
<meta name="msvalidate.01" content="4B8C0D62FB72C517CA283F195885E98E" />
<title>Your SEO optimized title</title>
</head>
<body>
page contents

</html>

the abve is an example of what Bing is saying I should put as my metatag in the default page of my website

Your profile say's Web Designer Professional 7, I'll assume you mean Web Designer 7 Premuim

Just place this one line: <meta name="msvalidate.01" content="4B8C0D62FB72C517CA283F195885E98E" />
Into: Web Properties>Page>HTML code (head)
