To start with, you will need a Google account. If you already have one just click here, login with your username and password, and then go to step 4. If you don't have a Google account, go to step 1.
1. Click here to go to the Webmaster Tools website, and then choose 'Create an account now' at the bottom right of the window.
2. Fill out required info.
3. Confirm the account as described on the screen.
4. Click "Add a Site" to bring up an input box.
5. Type your website address into the box and click "Continue"
6. You will then be asked to verify that you own the site. To do this, make sure "Meta Tag" is selected from the drop down box (it should be by default). A meta code will be displayed and you will need to highlight and copy the unique reference. The unique reference should look something like
