Blogging 101 : Submit Your SiteMap

thoughts of MiLeT @ Saturday, August 30, 2008
After putting some entry in your blog it is better to submit your sitemap to Google. This should help not only the indexing of your site but also helps Google crawl your site whenever you create new entries.

But what is a SITEMAP? According to WIKI, a SITEMAP is a representation of the architecture of a web site. It can be either a document in any form used as a planning tool for web design, or a web page that lists the pages on a web site, typically organized in hierarchical fashion. This helps visitors and search engine bots find pages on the site.

For wordpress blog hosted on their own domain, getting the sitemap for your blog is easy. There is a plugin for this -- GOOGLE SITEMAP GENERATOR. This plugin will generate a sitemap that is compatible not only with GOOGLE but also with YAHOO, MSN AND ASK.COM. After the sitemap is generated login to GOOGLE WEBMASTER TOOL and submit it.

For blogger blog you can refer to this instruction. Although as per my experience the said instruction created an error for my blogger blog hosted on its own domain. I am still on the lookout for the process that will work for me.

P.S. If you happen to submit a sitemap to GOOGLE WEBMASTER TOOLS for your blogger blog hosted on your own domain which yield successful, please advise me what you did. I would greatly appreciate it.
