Submitting Blogger Sitemap to Google Webmaster tools is a must for any blogger that wish to be successful. Submitting your blog sitemap to Google webmaster tools will help your blog in the sense that whenever you make a new post on your blog, Google will get notified and your blog will get indexed on Google search engine. Bloggers say, “If you are not on Google, you are almost invisible to the world”, yes this is rightly said because if you blog is not submitted to Google Webmaster tools, there is high tendency that all you blog post might not get indexed on Google search engine and this might make you become invisible to the world despite your hard work. My blog almost had 30% increase of traffic from Google after submitting my blog to Google Webmasters Tool.
A new blogger might be confused about what Sitemap really mean. Sitemap as it name implies is a list of pages on a blog or website accessible to crawlers or users. Today, I want to share a simple step that any blogger using blogspot.com can easily use to submit their blog to Google Webmaster tools easily in no time.
Steps to Submit Blogger Blogs Sitemap to Google Webmaster Tools
1. Sign in to you Google Webmaster Tools account.
2. Click on the blog.
3. Now click on the sitemaps button.
4. Click on “ADD/TEST SITEMAP” button that appear on the top right of the page.
5. After clicking on it, a small box like what you’re seeing below will pop up.
6. Now add the code below into the box if you blog post is not up to 500:
atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=1&max-results=500If your blog post is more than 500 then add the code below (You need to add each line one by one):
atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=1&max-results=500
atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=501&max-results=500If you make more than 1000 posts on your blog, you will make use of the code below (You need to add each line one by one):
atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=1&max-results=500
atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=501&max-results=500
atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=1001&max-results=500Submit the link, after submission; you will see a notification that the code has been added successfully as sitemap. You will also see the number of URL that has been submitted and the ones that has been indexed.

@Adebisi Ayodeji A, it also work on other sites.

that thing is maintained over here.
Pls what can i do i got the pending responses help me pls
@oluwaseun, leave it like that. It would be approved.
I Didn’t understand can u explain better for me pls?
@David, the guide is easy to follow. Just be patient with the procedures outlined.
Boss thanks for this piece because it is helpful. I will like to ask more question outside this topic. I noticed that their are many ads on this site of yours. Please is it good to install more ads networks code on my blog, example installing VigLink software code or that of the adsense at the header and footer in one blog?
@Uzochukwu Mike, you can, as long as the ads doesn’t resemble adsense.
webmaster tool is not verify my blogger link i don’t know what is the problem behind it…,please help..
jamespit, make sure you registered with the same email address you used to set up the blogger blog.
I use the 3 codes i got this response
Sitemap not submitted. Reason: The URL you entered is invalid. Please make sure you have typed it correctly and that it uses the proper syntax and try again
phranq, how many post do you have on your blog?
Really helpful! at last an answer to my question.THANK YOU!
@Thompson Michael , you will go back to add the second code.
Hi,i appreciate your helpful blogging tips but there is something i dont understand. When you say "add the different lines one by one if the post are more than 500 do you mean i should go back to the ADD/TEST SITEMAP to add the second line or can i add it along with the first one when i'm adding the one for the first 500
@Portal Inmobiliario, it will also work, but it would be nice if you make it 500 for easy indexing.
Is this posible: atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=1&max-results=1000 ?
Thanks for sharing such great blog. It is really helpful for your readers
@Diane, you have to check the blog TOS for information regarding re-submission.
Hello
I submitted my sitemap successfully, to an established blog – PRIOR to discovering that most of my many links were broken (development mistakes due to not understanding the application fully). I am able to resubmit. Nothing happens.
Is there a period of time to wait before resubmitting?
thank you very much for the great information. Its cool trick to index all articles at once
@Manoj Kumar, create quality backlinks pointing to your website. However, you need to exercise patience.
Hi nice post but i have already submit my sitemap to Google and it is not indexing my URL automatically pls tell me what to do? http://www.online-uttarakhand.com,
thank you it works
i just used “sitemap.xml” without number of post for dynamic posting
thank you very muck, realy helped to publish my blog
This is excellent information for submitting a sitemap file to the free Google Webmaster Tools.
@serg, yes it works but this work best.
But I think a single code like atom.xml should be working???
