Thank you to our
Google Group
members for finding a bug in the
verification
file logic, which stripped out leading zeros when we accessed the verification file. We've fixed
this. This should have only affected site owners with verification files that had the pattern
google0<unique_string>.html. If your verification file has this pattern and you've
had trouble verifying, please request verification again.
