can someone explain to me in details how to create a sitemap for my blog at blogspot.com ... thanks..
I have always used http://www.xml-sitemaps.com/. You will then have to upload it to your ftp account and submit it at Google Webmaster Tools
Select add meta tag and Copy the meta tag listed and paste it in your blog in the first <head> section of the page, before the first <body> section. such as <Html> <head> <meta name="verify-v1" content="A+vTgwRRlM+VM=" /> (the ex. of google verify code) </head> After that back to google sitemaps then click verify button. This will finish verify section. 2. Add Sitemaps Select add general web sitemap it will show http://www.yourdomain.blogspot.com/.........(Blank) fill in the blank with atom.xml then click Add web sitemaps. after that redone the first step again , I mean select Select add general web sitemap it will show http://www.yourdomain.blogspot.com/.........(Blank) fill in the blank with rss.xml Afterthat click add web sitemap then finish. PL. blogspot use atom and rss to generate feed so that we have to submit them both. there are no FTP function so you cannot upload your sitemaps to it.
use rss.xml or atom.xml. Link: http://yourblogname.blogspot.com/rss.xml http://yourblogname.blogspot.com/atom.xml
i did all those steps and now its says there are errors " path doesnt match" anyone knows how to fix this ??
I don't know if this helps but I don't think you need to create one if your blog is hosted on blogspot, because they automatically make one for you and add it to robots.txt If you add your *.blogspot.com web site to Google Sitemaps and verify it, eventually Google will pick up the robots.txt and it should have the following sitemap definition in it: Sitemap: http://YourBlogName.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default?orderby=updated That's what it did with mine, yet ironically it doesn't show up as a sitemap in Google sitemaps and you can't add it without adding the /feeds/posts/ path as a separate web site... Google doesn't honor a sitemap located deeper than the path it is supposed to describe.
