If verification can no longer be confirmed, you will be notified. Search Console periodically checks if your verification token is still present and valid. Verification lasts as long as Search Console can confirm the presence and validity of your verification token. That is, if you verified ownership of using the HTML file upload method, any child properties that you create (m. or ) will be auto-verified using the same HTML file upload. Once you have verified a property, any child properties that you add will be auto-verified using the same verification method as the parent. If you use the same verification method, just be sure that you don't overwrite the verification tokens of any other owners. Multiple people can verify ownership of the same website property, using the same or different verification methods. To add an additional verification method, visit the Settings page for the property and click Ownership verification You might want to add more than one verification method in case one of your existing verification methods fails (for example, if you verified using a Google Analytics tracking code, and someone changes a template on your website that omits the tag). You can add multiple verification methods in your property's verification settings page.

In September 2009, Google announced officially what was true for years back then: “Google does not use the keywords meta tag in web ranking”.

People started spamming this keywords element and search engines began ignoring it. If this sounds like you’re asking AltaVista and Yahoo directly to just rank you for whatever keyword you want.

The keywords you put into this element’s content attribute would then be used as a ranking factor by the search engines. This meta keywords element is invisible to visitors but was visible to search engines. These engines crawled the web and used the meta tags including the keyword meta tag to know what topics a website was about. We had Altavista, Lycos, Yahoo, WebCrawler, Infoseek and other early, mostly defunct search engines. They crawled the web and created a searchable database, similar to today’s search engines, but, were not very intelligent. Before Google, search engines were very basic.
