How to create a Google webmaster tools account ?

Creating a Google webmaster tools account is as simple as creating a Google's account. However if you already have a Google account or if you are using Blogger as platform for your blog then you don't need to create a new account.

But if you don't have a Google account then first you sign up for Google Webmaster Tools.
Now i consider you have created a Google Webmaster Tools account, so our next step is adding and verifying our website.

How to add a website to Google Webmaster Tools ?

• Log in to your Google Webmaster Tools Account.
• After log in to your GWT account you can see the red color ADD A SITE tab on the right side of your homepage as shown in screenshots below.

• Click on ADD A SITE tab and enter the URL of your website.

• Then click on Continue tab.
• If you have a blogger blog that is your domain is not a top level domain and its extension is .blogspot.com and you have logged in to Google Webmasters account with same Google account that you are using for blogger then you are not required to verify your domain. It will automatically get verified. But if you have a top level domain then you have to verify your ownership of the domain.

How to verify your ownership of website/domain in Google Webmaster Tools ? 

Verifying your ownership of the domain/website is quiet easy in Google webmaster tools as it provides various methods to do it.

Basically it will give you two different methods one is Recommended Method and other is Alternate methods as shown in screenshots.

How to verify your website ownership using Recommended method in Google Webmaster Tools?

• In this method simply you have to login to your domain name provider's site like Godaddy, Namecheap, Bluehost, Hostgator etc.
• Then My Account >> Manage Domains and select the domain that you have to verify.
• Then go to All Host Records.
• Insert the @ character into the hostname tab under Subdomain settings in All Host Records.
• Then in IP Address/URL field enter copy and paste the code given by Google as shown in screenshots.

How to verify your website ownership using Alternate method in Google Webmaster Tools ?

In Alternate methods, Google webmaster tools provide you four different methods to verify your website ownership.

• HTML file upload.
• HTML tag.
• Google Analytics.
• Google Tag Manager.

Since Google Webmaster Tools has already described these methods, so i don't think there is a need to describe it here again. These methods are quiet easy so you can select any one of them to verify your website ownership.

Now as we have already created Google webmaster tools account and also verified our website ownership so now its time index our webpages.
