Sitemap is the map of your website. It gives a pictorial view of all the links on your site. Search engines
find it easy to crawl and index the web pages through sitemap. Having proper sitemap submitted to
search engines, you are on your way to better SEO and better revenue.
Here I will guide on how to submit sitemaps to three major search engines, Google, yahoo and Bing for
BlogSpot bloggers.
For BlogSpot bloggers:
BlogSpot bloggers can submit sitemap using RSS or Atom feed. But atom is recommended. Simply copy
the following code and paste it in sitemap submission address bar.
http://www.mysite.com/atom.xml?redirect=false
Or if your site contains more than 100 pages, use following code.
http://www.mysite.com /atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=1&max-results=100
Replace “mysite” by your URL.
For example:
http://www.adsenseadwordss.blogspot.com /atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=1&max-
results=100
