Creating an XML sitemap for your Blogger blog is a very simple process. Simply enter your blog URL and click the ‘Generate’ button. Google’s recent updates for Blogger include the XML sitemap for blog posts and pages, which can be accessed by adding ‘sitemap.xml’ and ‘sitemap-pages.xml’ to your blog URL.

Google recently released many updates for the Blogger blog, including the XML sitemap for blog posts and pages. We can access these sitemaps by adding sitemap.xml and all pages sitemaps by adding sitemap-pages.xml.

Suppose the blog URL is example.blogspot.com; the sitemap address will be

https://example.blogspot.com/sitemap.xml (for all Blogger blog posts).

https://example.blogspot.com/sitemap-pages.xml (for all Blogger Pages).

You’ve to replace https://example.blogspot.com with your blog address. For a custom domain Blogger blog, the sitemaps will be.

https://www.example.com/sitemap.xml (for all Blogger blog posts).

https://www.example.com/sitemap-pages.xml (for all Blogger Pages).

Here, you’ve to replace www.example.com with your domain name. These sitemaps will update whenever you publish something on your blog. That means you don’t need to update these sitemaps again and again.

How does this XML sitemap works? When you publish a new post or page to the website, that page or post URL is automatically added to the sitemap. And that sitemap informs the search engine, “Hey, search engine, what are you doing? I have a new page; index it”. The Search Engine replies, “ok, I’m coming to check the quality of the webpage and index it accordingly”. Then the search engine crawls new pages or posts.

Submitting the website’s sitemap to the search console to improve search results and analyze the SEO is essential. With the help of webmaster tools, you can keep an eye on ranking keywords and improve their rank.

Submit Blogger XML sitemap to Google Search Console.

The search engines fetch all URLs listed from the sitemap, crawl, and check whether the content is helpful for indexation. The sitemaps are more critical when there is weak internal linking of blog posts. It helps the search engine find the deep content and index for search results.

To increase the organic traffic of the Blogger blog, submit the XML sitemap file to Google Search Console. For this, you’ve to sign up for Google Search Console. Then, go to Google Search Console and click on Start Now, as shown below.

Submit sitemap to other search engines using robots.txt.

Whenever a search engine crawls your blog, first, it will interact with the robots.txt file of the website. This file contains rules for the search engine and the sitemap’s path. This XML sitemap helps these search engines navigate all the website’s content. Let’s generate a robots.txt file for the Blogspot that includes these sitemaps.
