In Fire We Trust

Google is mother and father. Everyone who has a webpage knows, that the everseeing Google decides if your site will live or will end in some obscure end of the world. Strange isn’t it, the search engines are something very powerfull. Frankly said till now i never had problems wih them.

But this days i noticed something strange. My hits were lowering. They are not much (around 10 people daily), but this are mine hits. So i browse to the Google’s webmaster center just to check if i am completely broken. And what i see there … surprise surprise.

Your site is not verified. Please verify your site

Just to enlighten you about the consequences of this warning. As a whole … prety simple, your results are soaring down into the drain, the site is not indexed, no pageranking, no nothing. As a whole quite bad thing. I started wondering why the verification of the site was dropped, even wrote a mail. Just received an automatic answer, nice but automatic. I started verifying my site again and gues what, i was kinda slapped trough the face. Your site is retturning 200 OK when it should return 404 Not Found. Baaad verry bad. To be completely correct that is just normal behaviour of Wordpress with pretty URL’s enabled. Well i fixed the verification, but now i have to read for mod_rewrite to escape such situation. ATM the verification is glowing with a meta tag, but this just doesn’t suit me.
