Generate a SiteMap and submit it to WebMaster Tools

I hope you do know about Google Web Master Tools. This tool enables WebMasters to provide a better and detailed information of their site to Google.This will greatly help you in your SEO needs.Webmaster Tools allows you to submit your blog's sitemap so that Google gets a better idea of your blogs structure.



Wordpress and other blogging platforms have some Sitemap generator plugins for the same.If you are using blogger you can use your blog's atom.xml feed as your sitemap. To do this simply login to your Google Webmaster Tool Account.If you havent verified your site at webmaster tools do that and then add a sitemap for your blog.In the sitemap url give the following url http://yourblog.blogspot.com/atom.xml?redirect=false&max-results=100 or http://www.yourdomain.com/atom.xml?redirect=false&max-results=100

The ?redirect=false was intentionally added as the wemaster tools may report errors if you are usig Feedburer Redirection. The max-results=100 is responsible for listing the latest 100 posts



Now if you have more than 100 posts you will have to add an another alternate sitemap in addition to this.

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

If you have more than 200 posts then you should add another sitemap

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

Similarly you have to add more sitemaps if your post number is more than 300,400 or 500 posts by changing the start index value to 301,401,501 etc respectively..



You can also use rss.xml in place of atom.xml in all of these sitemap urls..
Alterntivey i suggest you to use Gsite Crawler. This tool works under windows and generates an xml sitemap of for your site.But this is useful only in case of FTP published Blogger blogs.If you have other sites you can use this tool to generate a sitemap and then upload it to your site for webmastertools



Note:-Google Webmaster Tools is an amazing feature and it will be a great loss if you don't use it.
