Hi, if I need to verify my site also in >Yahoo,

I must add another yahoo_filename.html in my .htaccess file?

How do it?

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/google_file.html

Or that:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/google_file.html

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/yahoo_filename.html

to add the external file you need to use this condition:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/YOUR FILE NAME
