You have a number of options to verify that you own your website:

• Add a meta tag to your home page (proving that you have access to the source files). To use this method, you must be able to edit the HTML code of your site’s pages.

• Upload an HTML file with the name you specify to your server. To use this method, you must be able to upload new files to your server.

• Verify via your domain name provider. To use this method, you must be able to sign in to your domain name provider (for example, GoDaddy.com or networksolutions.com) or hosting provider and add a new DNS record.

• Add the Google Analytics code you use to track your site. To use this option, you must be an administrator on the Google Analytics account, and the tracking code must use the new asynchronous snippet.

 

How Do I Automatically Get New Web Pages Into Google?

You can ping Google (and other engines) using RSS or XML.

If you have a blog, In the past, I’ve found registering a site with FEED BURNER is useful in happy, instant indexing of new content on a site.

A link from a blog, forum or another website would usually suffice.
