How to Create XML Sitemap for Blogger/Website!!!

How to Create Sitemap
In the previous post I discussed about the importance of sitemap for website/blog to get better search ranking. That was published as the preparation of this post. And today I will show how to create a sitemap for website and blog. Creating sitemap for blogger and website is same. To know more about sitemap read the below post.


There are several way you can create sitemap for your site. As I said in the previous post that among two types of sitemap format XML and HTML, expert prefer XML sitemap. So, I will show how to create XML sitemap. Basically creating sitemap for a site is not important, The important thing is to submit it to webmaster tools. Lets see how to create sitemap.


Now have a Look at the Below Code...

# Blogger Sitemap generated on 2013.11.04
User-agent: *
Disallow: /search
Allow: /
Sitemap: http://www.ittimesbd.com/atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=1&max-results=500


The code is the XML sitemap of www.iTTimesbd.com. Actually in this code this blue line is the sitemap link. Using this same link you can create site sitemap for your site. You just need to replace this http://www.ittimesbd.com URL with your site/blog homepage URL. Then paste full URL in your browser address bar and hit Enter. You will get the sitemap for your blog/website.

When you will submit your site/blog to search engine webmaster you just have to use the URL sitemap link only. Basically sitemap contains all URL of your site's pages. Which helps the search engine robot to crawl your site very easily. The above whole code is commonly called Custom robot.txt. I have created this code using the following method.

  • First click on the link Sitemap Generator
  • Then Paste the homepage URL of your site in the blank box. (example: http://www.ittimesbd.com)
  • Then click on Generate Sitemap button.
  • Now you will the sitemap as shown in the below image.
sitemap for www.ittimesbd.com

Now you can save this code. This code will need to setup custom robot.txt and the Sitemap URL will need to submit sitemap to webmaster tools. Next I will publish post on both of these topics.
