As I mentioned in my earlier post that I will soon write an article on how to submit a sitemap to Google Webmasters. So, today I am going to do that.
To index any Website on Google and to increase its traffic you must need to submit a sitemap. It helps you in indexing your blog's pages and posts. But before submitting a sitemap, we need to verify our blog on Google Webmasters.
How to verify a blog/Website on Google Webmaster tools ?
1) Go to Webmaster tools and log in to your account.
2) After log in, you will see your all blogs there.
3) Click on manage site option and then click on verify this site.
5) Copy the meta tag and paste it below the <head> section of your template's HTML as shown in the picture below.
6) Save your template and go to webmaster tools from where you have copied the meta tag and click on verify.
You have done! and now i will tell you how to submit a sitemap.
How to submit a sitemap to Google Webmasters tools ?
1) Go to Webmaster tools and click on 'crawl' and then click on 'sitemaps'.
atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=1&max-results=500
Please note: The above code is only for the posts from 1 to 500. If you have more posts than 500 than you change its value. For example if you want to submit a sitemap for posts 500 to 1000 than you can use the following code.
atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=501&max-results=1000
3) Click on 'submit sitemap' and you have done!
