I have no idea, when Google Analytics asks me to upload their verification code to my FTH site, where does this text go?

Google also wants me to enter a meta tag in the <head> section and above the <body> section. I have no idea how to do this as the only way I know how to access the source is on the Home page.

I should also be using my asynchronous tracking code, which needs to be located, once again in the <head> section.

One final thought, how do I submit a sitemap to them?

Google assumes you are building your site from scratch and you have total control over everything. You are not building it from scratch, and you do not have total control over everything... You mostly control the content. The code I maintain and update does most of the technical heavy lifting for you and all the rest of the clubs/districts using the system. You give up some control for ease of use... that is the bargain.

We (me) control the website template, and I provide places for you to plug in the appropriate information to customize the template for your club. Think of it sort of like one of those picture frames that has all the cutouts in it for all the smaller photos... I create and maintain the "frame", and you decide what "pictures" (content) you want to show in the cutouts.

Bottom Line: For the Google Analytics stuff, just get their Javascript from them and plug it into the spot for that on the Website Statistics tab. The code handles the rest.

Reference the following instructions: support.google.com/analytics/answer/1008080?hl=en

They are calling the JavaScript the "tracking code"... that is what you need. If you have the choice to get the async version, get that. (It does not slow down your website load.)

BTW... it is essentialy the same tracking code for all websites... The only thing that is different in each instance is an embedded identifier that ties your website to your Google account.

The following will give you an idea what the code will look like from Google: developers.google.com/analytics/devguide...lection/analyticsjs/

The UA-XXXXX-Y identifier (X & Y are placeholders here) is the account identifier that Google uses to tie your website to your Google account.

Don't worry if the code looks complicated... you do not need to understand it. You just need to copy/paste it to right box in the admin console. ;)

My site has not been indexed. I communicated with a Google forurm & received the following:

from www.toastmastersofpalosheights.com/ I am seeing a 302 temporary redirect to www.toastmastersofpalosheights.com/?z7Tm

I am also seeing pages indexed w/o www and w/o https. To consolidate all indexation under a single version I would recommend changing the redirect to a 301 and make sure it is direct and does NOT append any characters to the url as in the case above.

For HTML tag verification method - You need to place verification meta tag on your home page as follows

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Your Title</TITLE>
<meta name="google-site-verification" content="String_we_ask_for">
</HEAD>
<BODY>

For more details and other verification methods, please see support.google.com/webmasters/answer/35179?hl=en
