By verifying your Ning Network with Google, you can access comprehensive statistics about the pages on your network. To complete this process, a\u00a0Google account<\/a>\u00a0is required.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Please note that in order for Google Webmasters to verify your network, you’ll first need to ensure your network is completely public.<\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

\"Verify<\/p>\n

If your network is public and you have a Google account, sign in to your network with your Network Creator credentials.\u00a0Go to your My Network tab and click on the “Google Webmaster” link under the “Tools” section of your dashboard.<\/p>\n

In a separate browser tab or window, open\u00a0the “Google Webmaster Tools” link. This will take you to\u00a0https:\/\/www.google.com\/webmasters\/tools\/
\nOnce on the Google Webmaster Tools page, click on the “Add property” button.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A window will pop up, prompting you to select property type and enter your network\u2019s URL. Select \u201cURL prefix\u201d type and put the URL of your network.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Click \u201cContinue\u201d after entering your network\u2019s URL. You will be presented with a few ways of verifying ownership of the site. We will review the recommended verification method.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

You will be prompted to upload an HTML file to your server, but it\u2019s important to note that you do not need to upload a file to a server.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Just copy the HTML verification file name that you see in Step 1, and paste it into the space provided on your network’s Step 4 in the Google Webmaster management page.<\/p>\n

\"Verify<\/p>\n

Once you do that, click \u201cSave\u201d on the network\u2019s Google Webmasters management page. Then go back to your Google Webmaster Tools page and hit \u201cVerify\u201d button. The system will run a short check and confirm the verification.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Once that\u2019s done, your network will be fully verified and you\u2019ll be all set!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
