I already verified my blogspot site. What is my next step I can now see keywords then percent of the sides. Should I blog only on that words?
@Carol,
No but it will give you an indication on what keywords is best for your site.
I want to thank you for giving simple and visual instructions on how to verify the site. I have been trying for a month but did not have the courage to fiddle with my template as all sites were giving instructions by simply copying from the google instructions which were not clear for someone like me who does not understand html.
I finally managed to verify my site. Thanks!!
