You know How to Add a XML Sitemap to your Blogger/blogspot Blog?
The XML Sitemap file is like a directory of all web pages that exist on your website or blog. Search engines like Google and Bing can use these sitemap files to discover pages on your site that the search bots may have otherwise missed during regular crawling.
GENERATE A COMPLETE SITEMAP FOR YOUR BLOGGER BLOG
This section is valid for both regular Blogger blogs (that use a 4seohelp.blogspot.com address) and also the self-hosted Blogger blogs that use a custom domain (like 4seohelp.com).
- Here’s what you need to do to expose your blog’s complete site structure to search engines with the help of an XML sitemap.
- Open the Sitemap Generator and type the full address of your blogspot blog (or your self-hosted Blogger blog).
- Click the Create Sitemap button (http://ctrlq.org/blogger/) and this tool will instantly generate the necessary text for your sitemap. Copy the entire generated text to your clipboard.
Next go to your Blogger dashboard and under Settings – > Search Preferences, the enable Custom robots.txt option (available in the Crawling and Indexing section). Paste the clipboard text here and save your changes.
And you are done. Search engines will automatically discover your XML sitemap files via the robots.txt file and you don’t have to ping them manually.
