How to add sitemap to Blogger webmaster tool

A sitemap is a structure of a websites contents, and its used by search engines to better understand your contents, For some other platforms like Wordpress, Joomla, Drupal, etc, Adding sitemap can be done with sitemap generators and uploaded to site root, But for Blogger the case is different as it has not root folder where files can be stored.

 So the only way to add sitemap to webmaster remains the use of of your Blog feeds url. (eg. site.com/feeds/posts/defaut)

Remmember that if you are interested in your sites traffic, You want people to see your blog in there search results then you must follow this steps:

• Sign in to Webmaster Tool 
• Click the Blog tittle you want to add sitemap
• Click on SiteMaps Button (see photo below)

At the top right corner of the page, press Add/Test sitemap button.

Once you click the button, a small box will appear as shown in the screenshot below.

• Add the below code in the text field.

atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=1&max-results=500

This is the sitemap code for your blogger blog which you need to add.

• Press “Submit Sitemap” button.
• Refresh the page.

Congratulation! You have finished the process of submitting your blog sitemap.

Note: The above sitemap will work for 500 posts only. If you have more than 500 posts published in your blog, then you have to add one more sitemap. The Whole procedure will be same but at this time you have to add this code.

atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=501&max-results=1000

The sitemap which we submit to Google Webmaster Tools is a XML sitemap which is used by search engines to find our content easily. There is HTML sitemap too which is for our blog readers.
