Typical install loads the main_page which has text that can be found in admin panel under tools define pages I think it is. There is an override though in the configuration settings that can have the first page be something else. I don't recall which area it is located, possibly my store or layout settings I'm thinking.
What seems to be the issue in more detail?

There is no issue. I was looking for the right place to put "<meta name="google-site-verification" content="*********" />

Oh, that's a different story. Doesn't that need to be visible on all pages and in the header of the site? Like in includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/common/tpl_header.php I think is the filename?

I will have a look at using tpl_header.php and see what happens. Thanks for the info

Took a gander at the requirements for google's verification by use of a meta tag, they do only look for the tag in the "root" of the site, so if the first page is the default first page (and not say a category) then the code should be able to be dded to: includes/modules/pages/index/header_php.php and would only show up on the first page. Wwhile minor in quantity of information, this would minimize the amount of content loaded to the browser as it would not be loaded to every page, just the index/main paage.
Further I was wrong in my first post, main_page is not the first page, that is the tag that is used to identify what page (which follows) is/should be loaded.

Can the meta tag go anywhere?

While following applicable html layout, anywhere between <head> and </head>, to be displayed on the page that appears when the uri provided to google is loaded.

There are no head tags in includes/modules/pages/index/header_php.php

Correct. The header_php.php content is loaded between them. Have to look at the code from a bigger perspective, a file is loaded (I think it is the template file I described before) that kicks off the top of the header, but then branches out to collect other information and then to display it. Header_php.php (and other files ending with .php in that directory) are loaded before the body content is loaded. You may have to escape the code a little to display html or echo the content, so for example may need to add: ?><Meta info /><?php

I have found 'Simple Google Analytics', can I build it in to that?
Totally Zenned
Just looking through the plugin's and I have also found 'EZ-Pages Meta Tag Fields'. Would this work? I am just trying to make my life a bit simple

That's because "includes/modules/pages/index/header_php.php" is the WRONG file to modify.. You put the Google meta tag inside the "/includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/common/html_header.php" file (where YOUR_TEMPLATE = the name of your template's folder)
You can put the code right after line 41:
<meta name="robots" content="noindex, nofollow" />

Then you need to check back with Google WHY..
in the meantime post a link to your site here so we can SEE what you SEE..

Ughhh, thanks Diva, I really went off to a whole nother tree when I went out on that limb. :) some things are easier than others for me being away from the code.

My fault. Finger trouble. Sorted now. Thanks for the help from everybody.

So if I wanted to add a, for example, a clock, would I put the code into ""/includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/common/html_header.php"?

add a clock? need a better explanation..
Totally Zenned
If the clock code needs to be in the area between <head> and </head>, then that code portion could be loaded there. If you're just looking to put a clock up and thinking that html_header is the place because it has html and is at the top of the page, no.
