Can someone explain what this meta tag does?
<meta name="verify-v1" content="/JBoXnwT1d7TbbWCwL8tXe+Ts2I2...0g7kdY=" />
Answer:
That's one of the verification elements used by Google Sitemaps. When you
sign up for Sitemaps you have to add that element to a root page to
demonstrate to Google that you're the site owner. So there is probably a
Sitemaps account for the site, if you haven't found it already.
