How to Create XML Sitemap for Blogger Blog
Last week, I discussed about Sitemap. And I said, my next post will be about creating sitemap. However the next post was about Windows 8.1 Activator. So, I dont like to delay anymore. Today Im gonna tell you the easiest way to create sitemap for your blogger blog. Hopefully this will help you boost your search position.
There could be several ways to create sitemap. But mostly used sitemaps are XML and HTML. And I will talk about XML sitemap. Actually this is not worth of creating a sitemap page for your blog. But quite useful for submitting in different search engines. It will just list your pages as XML code. You will not be able to show or view the links as Anchors Text Links.
Look at the code below:
# Blogger Sitemap generated on 2013.11.04
User-agent: *
Disallow: /search
Allow: /
Sitemap: http://munnamark.blogspot.com/atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=1&max-results=500
This is the XML sitemap of Marks PC Solution. The blue part is the actual sitemap link. When you need to submit the sitemap link, you should use the link only. But if you wanna use it as custom robot.txt then use the full code.
If you wanna view your actual sitemap, then copy and paste the URL in your browser. You will get the URL for your posts in XML format. It contains all the URL of your site with many other information which are useful for search engine crawlers.
If you wanna view your actual sitemap, then copy and paste the URL in your browser. You will get the URL for your posts in XML format. It contains all the URL of your site with many other information which are useful for search engine crawlers.
And you can use the this sitemap for any blogger blog. Just replace my URL with yours. You can also change the date manually. This is a Year . Month . Day format date. You can use the current date. For example, your sitemap could be as below:
# Blogger Sitemap generated on 2013.11.06
User-agent: *
Disallow: /search
Allow: /
Sitemap: http://example.blogspot.com/atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=1&max-results=500
Compare the two codes. I made a change in date and in URL. Thus you can also change it as your wish. But dont need to change any other part.
By the way, this sitemap has been generated by http://ctrlq.org/blogger. You can directly visit this page and create your sitemap from there.
- Follow this link.
- Copy your homepage URL (http://munnamark.blogspot.com) and then paste it in the sitemap generator box.
- Hit on the Generate Sitemap button.
- Now you will get the sitemap as below:
Done! Now copy and save the code in a notepad file or elsewhere. You can submit this sitemap in bing or any other search engines that support XML sitemap. Remember, use the link only when you need to submit the sitemap URL.

Sitemap Informs Search Engines About Pages
All of you are familiar with maps. City Map, World Map etc. etc. But how many of you know about sitemap? Though its a very common term to the webmasters, general people hardly know about this. Even new bloggers are not conscious about sitemap. The fact is that its an important part of SEO. Lets take a brief idea on Sitemap.
Well a sitemap is something like City Map! What does a city map tell you? You can find the park, bus stand, university or any other important places from the map. From a World Map, you can find the nations of the world. Similarly, a sitemap includes the posts or pages of a blog or website.
Simply a sitemap can be defined as a list of pages of a site. A sitemap gives access search engines to crawl those pages. And it also let the visitors easily navigate throughout the site. If you submit your sites map to search engines (Google, Bing, Yahoo etc.) then it will be easier to index the site. Search position of the site will also be improved.
Search engines cant index the pages of your site if you dont submit the sitemap regularly. Crawlers discover pages from your site and also from backlinks. Sitemap boosts up the process. It provides additional information about each URL (when it was last updated, how often it usually changes etc.) and thus makes it easier for the search engines to crawl a site properly.
Look at the following URL:
http://munnamark.blogspot.com/atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=1&max-results=500
If you follow the URL, you will get the sitemap of Marks PC Solution. There you will find all the URL(s) of this site with some additional information. Lets have a look at the first few lines of the sitemap -

Note: If you follow my sitemap URL - http://munnamark.blogspot.com/atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=1&max-results=500 - different browsers may display this differently. If you view the link in Chrome, you will see the above XML file.
In my next post, I will show an easy way to create a sitemap even without coding knowledge.
