For webmasters with self-hosted WordPress blogs, there's now a Webmaster Tools site verification plugin for WordPress that completely automates our verification process! You can install it directly from the "Install Plugins" control panel built into your WordPress blog, or you can download the ZIP file from the WordPress plugin site. This plugin can only be used by self-hosted WordPress blogs; it can't be installed on blogs hosted on wordpress.com.
With verified ownership of your site in Webmaster Tools, you can receive specific statistics and information (for example, relevant search queries, malware notices) about your site directly from Google. For recent news about verification for other types of sites, please see our recent blog post, "Your fast pass through security."
