It works for me ... go to My Network, Tools, Custom Code ... and paste it at the bottom ...

Your code should look something like this ..

After I put it there and saved it .. it took like 24-48 hours for it to start working ... I went back to Alexa and said "verify" and it started working ... so give it a few days to kick in ....

so you have to ADD <head> and </head>

i did not know that

<EDIT> just did that.....nothing. how can i upload the text file version to the root directory? i'd really like to get this done, i know it CAN be done, for whatever reason it is not working for me.

You can use jQuery to add a meta tag to the head of a document (web page). But I doubt Alexa will see if because the jQuery executes after the head has already been processed. Still, if you want to try it, add this to your Custom Code box:

x$('head').append('<meta name="alexaVerifyID" content="xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" />');
</script>

I don't know why it's not working for you ..

All I did was copy and paste the code at the "bottom" of my custom code screen. Waiting a day or two and it started working ...

I did the same thing for my Groupon Code .. copy the code and paste it in Custom Code at the bottom of the page and within 2-3 hours it started to work ... I"m stumped
