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.

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.

All about XML
Ive published several posts on HTML. But this is my first post on XML that stands for eXensible Markup Language. Before starting the main discussion, Id like to inform you that Ive collected information about XML from w3schools. I was just surfing that site and suddenly my eyes go to the XML tutorials. Then I decided to write something on XML.
In fact, todays post is a knowledge base article. From this post, you will know about - what is XML. This post will not teach you how to prepare XML files. So, dont be confused.
Okay lets start - XML doesnt do anything! Confused? But there is no way to be confused actually when you will know that XML is nothing except some texts stored in tags.
- XML - EXtensible Markup Language.
- Its used to store and transport data.
- Unlike HTML, XML is only used to store and transport data, not to display.
- Unlike HTML, here you can define your own tags.
- XML is simply a complement to HTML.
How Does XML Differ from HTML?
A Good question to reply. When you browse a site through internet, you just see structured texts, images, pages etc. You never see the codes behind those beautiful sites. But your browser has to interpret those pages using HTML. Any browser uses HTML to display websites.
HTML is used to display data. In contrast, XML is used to store and transport data. You can define your own tags in XML. But you cant do the same thing in HTML. Because HTML doesnt allow you to create something by yourself. It has some specific rules.
If you wanna learn about XML, you should have a basic knowledge in HTML and JavaScript.
A Little Example:
The following example may provide you a true understanding of an XML document. This is a piece of message. It has a sender, a receiver, a subject and a body. But the information is only wrapped in tags. You must use a media to send the information somewhere.
<Message>
<to>Adnan</to>
<from>Munna</from>
<Subject>Reminder</Subject>
<body>Never forget to inform me about AdSense Letter</body>
</Message>
The message above is absolutely self descriptive in that sense that some of the tags are invented by myself! The tags - <Message>, <Subject> are my own creation! In XML, youre allowed to create your own tags. Surprisingly, XML language has NO predefined tags! XML allows author to define his/ her own tags and document structure.
Where you are, You with the XML!
XML became a W3C Recommendation on February 10, 1998. It is as important as HTML. XML is the most common tool for the transmission of data among all sorts of applications.
