Creating sitemap is very simple and this sitemap works for both
self-hosted Blogger blogs and normal Blogger blogs. Just use this (
atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=1&max-results=500)next to your blogs URL. See example below.
http://yourblogname.blogspot.com/
atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=1&max-results=500
Now you have created sitemap for your Blogger blog, but you need to
tell search engines about your sitemap so that bots can know your site
structure. There are two ways to tell search engines about your sitemap.
1. Showing your sitemap in robots.txt file and 2. Submitting your sitemaps in Google webmaster tools
Adding your Blogger sitemap in robots.txt file
Login to your
Blogger blog and go to
dashboard >> settings >> search preferences
and edit the custom robots.txt. Enable and paste the following text and
click save changes. Make sure to change your blog name in Blogger
sitemap below.
5 | Sitemap: http://sureyea.blogspot.in/atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=1&max-results=500 |
So whenever search engines crawls your site they will access your Blogger sitemap from robots.txt file.
Submitting your Blogger sitemap in Google webmaster tools
Login to your
Google webmaster tools and select you website. In your site dashboard click sitemaps below. Now click add/test sitemaps, add your sitemap (just the
atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=1&max-results=500) and submit your sitemap.
