Do I need to do anything after adding my online resource to the U-ID Registry?

Yes, we have two recommendations:

1. Put assigned U-ID number in META tags in the page you registered, i.e.
    
   <meta name="U-ID" content="1208/1" />
    
   This will allow future version of Internet browsers to save this number in addition to URL and use it in case URL is not available or as a primary discovery source for the URL.
    
   
2. Mention U-ID number on the page you've registered. By putting U-ID number on your web page you indicate to your visitors that you registered resource with U-ID.COM. We recommend putting the link in the following format: U-ID: 1208/1. You can copy and paste the following paragraph to create the link in the recommended format:
    
   

   U-ID: <a href="http://u-id.com/?u-id=1208/1">1208/1</a>
