Generate Sitemap Blogger Custom Domain !!!

Own a blog on Blogger? Using a custom domain (in other words you have your own domain name registered, and that’s the url where your blog is). Wondering how to set up your sitemap? It’s is not that difficult to do this, so let’s get started!

How to Create a Sitemap for a Custom Domain with Blogger:

1. Login to your Google Webmaster Tools dashboard (If you have not registered yet, you need to do so for this) Select the option to “Add a Site” if you did not yet add your blog in Google Webmaster Tools. Complete those steps first.
2. From your Google Webmaster dashboard, choose the domain you need to create the sitemap for, from the dropdown menu.
3. Now select, “Optimization” and then select “Sitemaps”.
4. Once you open the “Sitemaps” link you then select the, “Submit a Sitemap” button.
5. In the url box, add the url shown below in the field following your custom domain, without spaces.

                    feeds/posts/default?orderby=updated

           Your url should end up looking like this, without spaces:

           http://www.everythingatsingleplace.com/feeds/posts/default?orderby=updated

As soon as you complete the feed url, Google will create your sitemap. You’re done! Don’t be confused if you only see the most recent 26 blog posts in your sitemap.

Now the trick here is if your blog is having more than 26 posts than here’s how you submit larger sitemaps for your blog on Blogger.

You can create your second sitemap like this:

http://everythinginasingleplace.blogspot.com/atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=1&max-results=100

To add more than 100 urls, but less than 200, then add yet another sitemap using this code:

http://everythinginasingleplace.blogspot.com/atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=101&max-results=200

Got even more than 200 posts? Simply continue to add more sitemaps by changing the “101&max-results=200? accordingly.

There you have it! The easy way to quickly generate a sitemap for your custom domain using the Blogger platform! Once your additional sitemaps have been added in Blogger, and the Googlebot has completed the crawl, you’ll see something like this in your Google Webmaster dashboard:

Once your blog urls exceed the next sitemap level, you’ll begin to see more “indexed url’s”, however again as mentioned above, Google will not show all of your urls indexed for each sitemap you submit. It’s just the way it is, so don’t fret.
