    What "google code"?

    I was always under the impression that google just trawled the web and indexed pages by the content of the page rather than whats in the meta tags (which can easily be cheated).

    Sorry, I was also thinking of Adsense at the time :doh: :o

    I had a google voucher for £30, you have to add a meta tag to the header on your site and then verify it but although it's there, google says it isn't :rolleyes:

    COOLTRIKERCHICK, please ignore the bit where I talk about a code :rotfl:

    Preferably both. Set it so they both go to the same URL.

  • Hi all,

    At last something I can elp with!!

    I looked into buying the Mr Site package, but wasn't keen on the cost each year. Slowly building my own... very slowly! ;)

    The Mr Site official forum closed down last year and apparently isn't re-opening. There is however a fantastic fan site of Mr Site users, full of advice, examples and friendly people.

    address is...
    http://www.aboutmrsite.com/

    I hope it helps you.

    Good luck with the web sites.

    Rebecca
