What\'s the best way to validate whether a particular user has ownership of a website?

Answer 1

Special code embedded on the given page (like Google Analytics).

You may also request that user have to provide a URL within the given domain with the specified content. For example user says that under the URL /vali/date/me on domain www.foo.com you can find page generating "VALIDATED" text.
