Title: How effective is Google's Webmasters tool?
Post by: catang on January 10, 2012, 10:47:44 PM
Hello dears,

I have been thinking of using Google's webmasters tool for my websites. However, to verify as site owner I need to download an html & upload to my site.
Wanted to know if adding the html has any short-term or long term drawbacks.
Please share your experience.

There are no drawbacks for uploading an HTML file. There are other verification methods  available. Its all upto you as to which method suits you best.
In general, if you have direct access to your server you may find it easier to upload an HTML file.
Here's an interesting knol which might help you in this matter,
