Hi All,

In setting up Google Apps Mail for one of my sites I could not get the site to validate. I remembered that I had signed up for Webmaster tools on that site and once I deleted the site from my tools account the email site validation worked like a dream. I made no corrections or changes to the settings other than deleting the tools claim on the site.

Now I'm wondering how do I set things up so that I can have an email account through Google and webmaster tools for the same site. Google has the two separate which makes me wonder if once I set up the tools account (assuming it doesn't fail because of the existing mail accounts) it break the mail setup?

How did you'all set this up?


Thanks,

Michele

validate gogole apps using a CNAME (it's very easy to add one in DA) and use html tags or files for webmaster tools

I know, it was quite simple once I got the periods in the right places. Wink

So, any idea why having a tools account would prevent an apps account verification?

Wouldn't most folks want both? Does it work if I create a tools account using the admin account associated with the apps account that has claimed the domain?

I know my answer wont help much, but I have several google apps on the same domain, but to be honest I don't remember how I did it. Have you contact google about this?

YMC is talking about the validation, it looks like that the validation with a root file doesn't work for both services together.

again validate google apps only with cnames, best and safest way to do that (never used the file validation)

because it's easier and it makes more sense: google aps is using your DNS zone not your website. The file validation is for webmaster without access to their dns zone
