This and much more you can get only when your site is verified by Google. Google allows you to choose one of the two methods:
- Either you add a meta tag to your home page as given by Google
- Or you add a web page with a name as suggested by Google.

If you are successful in doing one of the above, you are the winner. Unfortunately as a WordPress.com blog owner, me and the others don't have facility to perform any one of the above.

So should we just stop our efforts? No! well said, Where there's a Will ... there's a Way ...

And yes! There is certainly a way following which I have successfully verified my blog with Google. If you too own a blog at WordPress.com you will be able to do it too!!!

Assumed that you own a Google account, Log on to https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/siteoverview

Submit your blog url at "Add Site:". Your site would be added instantly but in absence of verification you will not have access to most of the features. Click on the link that says "Verify your site"

As mentioned above you will be required to choose one of the verification methods. Choose "Upload an HTML file" and you will be told to upload a file with name similar to "google51603ad9d1bcb791.html".

Another relatively pleasant, the scoreboard now shows the 10 queries, crawl errors as above, the inbound links and information on sitemaps.
