Hi All

First of all apologies if this is the wong place for this question.

I created a site a couple of weeks ago using WP and installed in a directory xxxxxxxxx.com

Now I have outsourced some backlinking and they weren't showing as quickly as I thought until I checked www.xxxxxxxxx.com. So it seems that Google is not treating them as the same site for links. Further investigating using Google Webmaster Tools revealed that I can set a preference and the next time the site gets crawled it will treat all links as going to my xxxxxxxx.com. The problem is that it asks for the www.xxxxxxxxx.com to be verified for that process to be completed, which mean doing one of the following:

  1. Adding a DNS to the domains configuration
  2. Addinga meta tag to sites homepage
  3. Uploading HTML file to folder
  4. Link to your Google analytics account - which require site verification anyway.
As everything is the xxxxxxxxx.com, and a directory for www.xxxxxxxxx.com does not exist how can I get the domain verified?
Is there an easier way to get around this problem?

Hope that all makes sense and I hope that someone can help.

Thanks in advance

Raj
