Just used this today for Pinterest. (I'm finally on Pinterest!)
Thank you!
Question...
Do I need to keep the plugin installed & activated now, or can I delete when I'm finished?
This particular site has a few already :-/

This is one of those plugins that doesn't need to be kept activated once it's done its job, Cris.

Don't stress about the number of plugins, it's the quality of the plugins that matters. One badly coded plugin can cause havoc but 20 good plugins can work together to make your website better and faster. I have around 30 plugins on my website and it loads in less than one second.

I don't stress about the number. In fact, I tell people the same thing. I just don't like them sitting idle if I can add and delete as needed. Thanks again, Marion!

How do you mean to 'Verify' a site? Verify for what, please, Marion?

Some programs like Alexa and Google have an alternate verification method where they give you a file with a code to add to your server. You tell them where you have it located and they fetch the file to verify domain ownership.

Lots of companies require you to verify ownership of your website including Google, Yahoo, Bing, Pinterest and some affiliate companies.

For a moment I had my wires crossed, but I had verified my sites already. Thank you, Marion 😁

Hi James,
To Verify your site means to prove to Google that you own or have the right to make changes to your website. It prevents other people from claiming your website as their own.

Extremely handy, Marion. Didn't know could be done with Pinterest as well. Thanks.

What I like about this method is that it's permanent and doesn't rely on an SEO plugin staying active.
