The New DNS Verification Method

A few weeks ago, Google introduced a new way of verifying site ownership, making it easy to share verified ownership of a site with another person. This week, Google brings another new way to verify. Verification by DNS record allows the user to become a verified owner of an entire domain (and all of the sites within that domain) at once. It also provides an alternative way to verify for folks who struggle with the existing HTML file or Meta tag methods.

For example, Google tried to use the new verification method on the spot. For the sake of this example, Google assumes the user to say “I own the domain example.com. I have several websites under example.com, including http://www.example.com/, http://blog.example.com/ and http://beta.example.com/. I could individually verify ownership of each of those sites using the Meta tag or HTML file method. But that means I'd need to go through the verification process three times, and if I wanted to add http://customers.example.com/, I'd need to do it a fourth time. DNS record verification gives me a better way!”

First of all the user will add example.com to his account, either in Webmaster Tools or directly on the Verification Home page.

On the verification page, He selects the "Add a DNS record" verification method, and follows the instructions to add the specified TXT record to my domain's DNS configuration.

When the user clicks "Verify," Google will check for the TXT record, and if it's present, the user 'll be a verified owner of example.com and any associated websites and sub domains. Now the user can use any of those sites in Webmaster Tools and other verification-enabled Google products without having to verify ownership of them individually.

If anyone try DNS record verification and it doesn't work right away, don't despair!

Sometimes DNS records take a while to make their way across the Internet, so Google may not see them immediately. It is important to add the record exactly as it’s shown on the verification page. Google will periodically check, and as the record is found, Google will make the user a verified owner without any further action from the user.

DNS record verification isn't for everyone—if any user doesn’t understand DNS configuration, Google recommends him continue to use the HTML file and Meta tag methods. But for advanced users, this is a powerful new option for verifying ownership of your sites.
