Thread: Google Announces New Option To Verify Ownership of Domain

Google announced yesterday about the additional method they've added to verify ownership of your domain (for their services such as Webmaster Tools, etc).
Webmasters can now verify their domain by using DNS cName records.

Steps from the Announcement:

1. Add the domain example.com to your account either in Webmaster Tools or directly on theVerification Home page.
   
   
2. Select the Domain Name Provider method of verification, then select your domain name provider that manages your DNS records or "Other" if your provider is not on this list.
   
   
3. Based on your selection you may either see the instructions to set a CNAME record or see a link to the option Add a CNAME record. Follow the instructions to add the specified CNAME record to your domain’s DNS configuration.
   
   
4. Click the Verify button.

What are your thoughts? (will this be helpful to you?).

I have to admit, I thought that option was always there.

You're talking about verifying a domain Via DNS txt records: http://googlewebmastercentral.blogsp...ation-ftw.html

I think Google has enough domain verification methods. But apparently there are some users who want to verify a domain using this option.
