Blogger SEO Tips...Submit sitemaps in Google Webmaster tools

Don't know how many of you use Google webmaster tools...Tweaking your blog or site needs you to use this tool as a way to interact more with the Google web crawler..Just add your site or blog into this tool along with a sitemap. It can help the search engine to figure out the structure of your blog and index it in a better way...

More over the tool can display if there are any crawl errors, any url in your site having crawler access problem, frequency of crawling, number of pages indexed and many more..You can also set the frequency at which you may need your site to be crawled by Google..


Adding your blog and its sitemap..........



1) Just goto the webmaster tools from your google account and add your site.

2)go to dashboard by clicking the added site name->SiteConfiguration->SiteMaps->submit sitemap->general web sitemap->

If your blog has less than a 100 posting add sitemap as

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

And if your blog having more than 100 postings you have to add one more site map in addition to the above as..

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

and if more than 200 you have to change the 'start-index=101 in the above link to start-index=201 and add one more sitemap, ie the 3rd site map is

atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=201&max-results=100 and so on..


if you are just giving the atom feed link of your blogger as sitemap, Google won't be indexing the inner url's of your blog other than the first blog post url..ie Google web crawler can see only a single url even when your blog is having more than 100 or more blog post url's.. so check it out...

If your sitemap is submitted successfully you will see the number corresponding to your total blog postings as submitted urls.. And note that, the indexed url's depends on the quality of blog postings and is upto Google's strategy of finding quality contents...

Goodluck from pixelshots the photo blog...

  3. googlebot only sees in your website is 'text' for them to categorize and indexed your website...they dont really care how good your design is...and of course the 'relevancy' of the content. Therefore, put great information in your content for them to hunt you down
