How to Add a Google Sitemap for Blogger Blog

Sitemaps are a way to tell search engines such as Google and Bing about pages on your site which the search engines might not otherwise discover. It lists pages on your website. Creating and submitting a Sitemap helps make sure that search engines knows about all the pages on your site, including URLs that may not be discoverable by them in normal crawling process.

Click the Create Sitemap button and this tool will generate a complete XML sitemap of your Blogger blog that mentions all your blog posts and not just the recently published blog posts.
