Web Site Owner Verification Process
SiteAdvisor encourages Web site owners to post public comments about their site or our analysis of their site. A section for Web site owner comments can be found on the Site Details page for every site we test.
To leave comments as a site owner, you first need to be verified. Please follow these steps:
Request a "Web site owner verification file" using the box below:
Web site domain name:
Check the "Open Verification Requests" section below to find a special filename. Create a file with this exact filename in the root Web directory on the Web server of the site you are claiming to own.
Once the verification file is created and publicly readable, come back to this page and click the "Verify" button next to the open verification request.
Once we have verified that the file exists on your Web site, you will have permission to create and edit the Web site owner comments that appear on your Site Details page. You must be logged in as a reviewer to leave your comment.

I get the following error message trying to verify my site.

Error Submitting Site for Verification

It appears that the Web site clicktohigher.com (or http://www.clicktohigher.com) is returning an HTTP 2xx or 3xx status response code in the header of 404 pages.

We cannot verify a Web site that is configured this way because it allows anyone to verify themselves as the owner of your site. Please update your Web site server configuration to return 404 status codes in the headers for pages that do not exist. Once your site is configured this way then you can return and request a file name verification.

I can't change the response code in the header because it is built into WordPress. I don't know how to bypass this.

Or did I understand you wrong?
Anyhow, I tested with the address above => McAfee gives the same answer as before!

Thank you!

With the McAfee thing, what exactly were you trying to get done? Most blog directories don't make you put a file right in the core of your blog; even Google only makes you post it in a blog post, which you can then delete.

As long as you're on Google and Technorati and maybe MyBlogLog, you're probably okay. Register at MSN and Yahoo as well and the others should find you soon enough.

That is support for wordpress installed on other hosts. If you are hosted on wordpress.com, we wouldn't be able to do that.

And we're suggesting that you send in a note to Mcafee about the false positive as well.

I did search the forum, and tried all the reloading tips I found-but I never saw anything about McAffee. I will try that,thanks.

Just for reference, sig links are a ToS violation. I went ahead and removed it for you.

Hope this helps,
