Google Webmaster Tools - SerrBizSEF - Custom Error Page

For those who don't know, Google provide webmaster tools which can be useful in seeing how Google sees your site, crawls your site, your in-bound link popularity and more. 

To utilize the webmaster tools, you just need to sign up for an account, and VERFIY you are the owner by adding a file to your site that Google provides, or adding META data which Google also provides.  The choice is yours.

From an SEO stand point, this is all good.

However, if you use SerrBizSEF and the custom ERROR page function, you may not be able to use the FILE verification process as the custom error page server header returns a 200 OK code. Google see's this a potential risk, and does not allow it so. You can, however, use the Google META verification process.

Note: Serr.biz is looking into the correcting the custom error page code of 200. Until the issue is resolved, just use the the META option to verify.
