This application allows various webmaster tools to verify that a Django site is
managed by you.
The only supported method of verification is by accessing a file on your
server.
Supported services:
- `Google Webmaster Tools <https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/home>`_
- `Bing Webmaster Tools <https://ssl.bing.com/webmaster/Home/>`_
- `Yandex Webmaster Tools <http://webmaster.yandex.com/>`_
- `Majestic SEO <https://www.majesticseo.com>`_
- `Alexa <http://www.alexa.com>`_

Usage
=====
Get ``django-webmaster-verification`` into your python path::
pip install django-webmaster-verification
Add ``webmaster_verification`` to your INSTALLED_APPS in settings.py::
INSTALLED_APPS = (
...,
'webmaster_verification',
...,
)
Add ``webmaster_verification`` to your root urlconf (urls.py)::
urlpatterns = [
...,
url(r'', include('webmaster_verification.urls')),
...,
]
Add settings just as::
WEBMASTER_VERIFICATION = {
'bing': '<bing verification code>',
'google': '<google verification code>',
'majestic': '<majestic verification code>',
'yandex': '<yandex verification code>',
'alexa': '<alexa verification code>',
}
The codes are alphanumeric and don't include suffixes like 'html', e.g.
``847e1f379a99c28a`` for google, not ``847e1f379a99c28a.html``.
Multiple codes are supported as well, except for bing::
WEBMASTER_VERIFICATION = {
'bing': '<bing verification code>',
'google': (
'<google verification code 1>',
'<google verification code 2>',
),
'majestic': (
'<majestic verification code 1>',
'<majestic verification code 2>',
),
'yandex': (
'<yandex verification code 1>',
'<yandex verification code 2>',
),
'alexa': (
'<alexa verification code 1>',
'<alexa verification code 2>',
),
}
Notes
-----
As **Bing** always accesses the same verification file I'm not sure if it's
possible to support more than one code for it. Please let me know if yes, and
how, as I don't really use their tools.
The **Alexa** codes I saw all had a length of 27 characters, so that's what this
app assumes is used. Please let me know if your codes differ and I need to
modify the app.
