Blogger Sitemap Generator : Submitting Sitemap

One thing that you can do to make your blog indexed fast by search engines such as Google, Yahoo, or Bing is by sending the sitemap address of your blog. Previously, Maybe you have known that sitemap address for blogger only added the code "atom.xml" at the end of your blog address, e.g. Vonne's blog has the address as follow:


http://blog-inner.blogspot.com/

so the sitemap address to be registered would be:
http://blog-inner.blogspot.com/atom.xml

If you use the feedburner service and then you redirect the feed address to sitemap address given by feedburner, there will be a notice that the sitemap you have submitted experiences error. The solution to this error is by adding one code ?redirect=false. For example, the sitemap address below runs error:

http://blog-inner.blogspot.com/atom.xml

So to remove this error notice from Google webmaster tool, the submitted feed address would be added the code ?redirect=false at the end of fee address, e.g.:


http://blog-inner.blogspot.com/atom.xml?redirect=false


The error message usually will be lost or it has been overcome, but it still leaves a peace of problem especially that in blogger or blogspot. It is about the pages indexed although there are a lot of posts in it.


Because of being a beginner in blogging, im working how can I increase the posibility of being indexed by search engines. So for now, I have only one URL that is being indexed. Patience is a MUST.

The following are the way to use Blogger Sitemap Generator :

1. Please visit http://digitalinspiration.com/tools/blogger/sitemap/index.php

2. Enter your blog address into the empty field available, do not forget to write your complete blog address including the http:// and ends with / (slash) (e.g. http://blog-inner.blogspot.com/ ), and then click the Create Blogger Sitemap button.
3. Records the sitemap address, copy and paste in notepad or other programs, e.g.:
atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=1&max-results=500







 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
4. Also click the links to submit to Bing and Yahoo.


For those who have more than 500 posts, the sitemap address would be more than one,


For the next step, please login to Google webmaster tool to submit the sitemap you have created. If you don’t have Google account, please register here.

Below are the detailed steps:


1. When you are in the dashboard of Google webmaster tool, please find the blog that you want to submit its sitemap.

2. Click Site Configuration


3. Click Sitemaps


4. Click Submit a Sitemap button. Copy and paste the sitemap address you have created at blogger sitemap generator ( atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=1&max-results=500 ), and then click Submit Sitemap. For blog with more than one sitemap ( more than 500 posts ), please repeat this step until all is done.
