Meta Verification – NOTABLE ITEMS:

  • ######## represents your own ID Number, provided by each service.
  • Some platforms/services (such as safesurf.com) use weird, escaped code, so you will need to pay close attention to exactly how they want their content code to look.
  • Commented code, stating [html]<!– BING VERIFICATION done as CNAME in DNS –>[/html] means, instead of using a Meta Tag, DNS CNAME Verification/Validation was elected, instead.
  • Do not confuse inclusion of “BING VERIFICATION” code with endorsement of Microsoft products and/or services. I do NOT think favorably about any Microsoft branded product or service (thus the MICROSLOP reference in my Code Snippets).
