Found the answer on the issues page of the site verify module. One has to enter not just the meta tag but the tags as well:<br><code><meta name="google-site-verification" content="the verification code" /></code><br>

It says in the site verify configure page that the meta tag : "This is the full meta tag provided for verification. Note that this meta tag will only be visible in the source code of your <a href="http://www.tony-mac.com/drupal/admin/config/search/verifications/2/@frontpage" target="_blank">front page</a>.". But it is also visible on the page. What can I do to disappear it? <br>

I have verified a site with google and bing but now the site verification codes are sitting on the first 'line' of the site. Why are they appearing there I ask myself and you? I used the site-verify module. Anyone have any experience with this?<span><font color="#888888"><br clear="all">
