Insights - no admin data

Question

I am trying to add a website to understanding and have successfully done this in the past. However, when I try to add, I get the error "No admin data found in the root web page." I added “root” as instructed, but the information is still unable to add the site. No redirects exist. Hosting is on the ground. This is the first time I have a problem, and the first time I had an earthlink website, so I'm not sure if the problem is related.

Answer 1

I had a similar problem with the Facebook Insights admin area. For me, the fb: admins tag just didn't appear on the screen. I had to dig around with Firebug and found the meta tag in the popup. The meta tag is built from your own Facebook identifier.

eg.

<meta property="fb:admins" content="12345678" />
