Sitemap for Blogger to Google Webmaster

How to add sitemap for Blogger to Google Webmaster?

First, go to Google Webmaster and sign in with your Google Account.

Click on "Submit a Sitemap" and enter the following link extension:

1) This is the basic sitemap you submit first.

/atom.xml?redirect=false

2) Then enter the second sitemap. This is to index the first 100 posts on your blog, which means post number 1 until post number 100.

/atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=1&max-results=100

3) If you have more than 100 posts on your blog, submit this link as well. This will index post number 101 until post number 200.

/atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=101&max-results=100

4) If you have more than 200 posts on your blog, submit this link as well. It will index post201 until 300.

/atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=201&max-results=100

5) Continue adding new sitemaps if you have more posts.

Take note that the more posts you have on your blog, you have to add more sitemaps to index every hundredth posts. Refer to the number in orange and it's pretty self-explanatory.

After submitting the sitemaps, your sitemap list will look more or less like this:

google webmaster sitemap list

The sitemap links above can accommodate 200 plus blog posts only. If the number of posts exceeds, more sitemaps have to be added for every hundredth.

Why is this "Sitemap submission" necessary?

It helps Google index your blog more efficiently and ultimately provide more traffic to your site via its search engine.
