Find out how to make XML sitemaps for your Blogger and Blogspot blogs. Google's web crawlers will be able to better index your site thanks to the sitemaps.
Generate XML Sitemap for your Blogger Blog
This section applies to both conventional Blogger blogs (those with a blogspot.com address) and self-hosted Blogger blogs (those with a custom domain name).- Type the full address of your Blogger blog into the Sitemap Generator.
- When you click the Generate Sitemap button, the program will produce an XML file with your sitemap in seconds. To your clipboard, copy the full content.
- After that, go to your Blogger.com dashboard and enable the Custom robots.txt option under Settings –> Search Preferences (available in the Crawling and Indexing section). Copy and paste the XML sitemap into this box, then save your modifications.
- And with that, we're done. You won't have to manually ping search engines because the robots.txt file will automatically locate your XML sitemap files.
- Internally, the XML sitemap generator keeps track of all the blog posts in your Blogger blog.
- The posts are then divided into batches of 500 and various XML feeds are generated for each batch.
- As a result of being part of one of these XML sitemaps, search engines will be able to find every single article on your blog.
