How to Find Sitemap URL of Blogger Sites ?

 

Blogger / Blogspot Sitemap

Just like all other website blogger sites also have a sitemap but their sitemap URL is a little bit different from other sites.

Usually sitemap is like www.yoursitename.com/sitemap.xml

But you can't have such sitemap in blogger.

So you have got feed as sitemap.

There are two sitemap URLs for bloggers :

www.yourblog.blogspot.com/atom.xml?redirect=false

www.yourblog.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default?=rss

I discovered these URLs while searching for the sitemap URL for this blog bestrix.blogspot.com .

Important Note : (update on 19-Mar-2018)

Using the above sitemaps we found that only 26 URLs are indexed by Webmaster, which is something annoying. So here is something new. Instead of using the above given URL (which are given years ago), please use the new sitemap URLs

www.yourblog.blogspot.com/sitemap.xml

www.yourblog.blogspot.com/sitemap.xml?page=1

www.yourblog.blogspot.com/sitemap.xml?page=2

The page "sitemap.xml" contains the full sitemap index, while "sitemap.xml?page=1" contains only 150 pages. So if your blog contain more posts than 150, then keep increasing the page number. You can submit all of those sitemap URLs in Webmasters for better indexing of your website.

Why do we need a Sitemap?

Sitemap is necessary for search engine bots to crawl each and every page of our website and get it indexed so that our website can appear in search results. If we have a sitemap then we can submit it to search engines so that they crawl every post / page of your blog.

You can also submit such URLs to Google Webmasters tool.

How to submit Blogger Sitemap to Google Webmasters

I am assuming that you have already added your blog to Google Webmasters tool.

Now got to "Optimizations" tab and click on "Sitemaps". Then go to "Add/Test Sitemap".

It will allow you to test your Sitemap URL and add it to webmasters.
