How to Submit Blog sitemap to Google?
In order to submit your Blog’s sitemap to Google first log-in to your Google webmaster account by using your Gmail id. In most cases, all Google accounts are associated with one Gmail ID including Blogger, Feedburner, Youtube, Google Plus etc.
After signing to your Webmaster account, click the blog you want to submit the sitemap to Google, and after clicking the blog you’ll see separate page for that blog, so at left side find the Optimization tab and under that click sitemaps, and now you’ll have to click the “Add/Test Sitemap” button at top right of the page. Now just add below piece of code to that and click submit:
For blogs having posts less than 500 submit this sitemap:
atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=1&max-results=500
And for blogs having more than 500 posts you can submit multiple sitemaps like below:
atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=1&max-results=500
atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=501&max-results=1000
So you can use this way to submit your blogger sitemaps to Google, without using any sitemap generator, because this is the default blogger sitemap style.
