I signed up for Google Webmaster Tools quite a while back and pretty much stopped keeping track of it. I’ve been working on getting my various blogs in sync (in regards to WP version, plugins and basic template) and as part of that realized that I had a handful that I never added to my Google Webmaster Tools account.
When I logged in, I noticed a bunch of error notifications on the dashboard telling me that I needed to verify my sites.
All I had to do was click the error message link (or choose one of the domains and click Tools -> Manage site verification) and tell it to go look for the html verification file. The files were already on the server from when I originally created the Google Webmaster Tools account but somewhere along the way Google lost track of them. I clicked on the link that sent Google to check for the verification file and everything was good again.
Anyway, if you have an account and haven’t checked it in a while, you should give it a glance and see if your site is still verified and make sure you don’t have any other errors being reported that you might need to address.
