Submitting Blogger Blog Sitemap To Google Other Search Engines

Submitting Blogger Blog Sitemap To Google Other Search Engines


Sitemap is a XML file that contains all the links of your site/blog. Sitemap can be manually created or automatically created using some online tools. These Sitemap can be submitted to search engine via the tools they provide or by mentioning the sitemap in robots.txt. In Blogger blogs the sitemap is located in different places.
In Blogger Blogs with the .blogspot.com sub domain, the sitemap is in a simple location ie :
http://YOURBLOG.blogspot.com/sitemap.xml
But on other blogs ie blogs on custom domains doesnt have a sitemap like the above URL. Instead you should use the following URL :
http://YOURBLOG.com/atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=1&max-results=1000
Now, Lets mention the sitemap on robots.txt. For That Go To Blogger -> YOUR BLOG -> Settings -> Search Preferences.
Click on Edit button near Custom robots.txt and add the following in the textbox:
User-agent: *
Disallow: /search?q=*
Disallow: /*?updated-max=*
Allow: /
Sitemap: http://www.subinsb.com/atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=1&max-results=1000
Replace The yellow background URL with your blogs sitemap URL and click on Save Changes button :
When the search engines crawl your site, they will get the sitemap URL from robots.txt and they will index all the URLs in the sitemap.
If you have any suggestions/problems/feedback say it out in the comments, I will help you.
