How to submit sitemap to google

Today I am going to share how to submit blogger sitemap to Google Webmaster Tools. Sitemaps help search engines better index your blog. Sitemaps are supported by all major search engines including Google, Bing, Baidu, Yandex and many others.

What is a sitemap?

Sitemaps provide a way for you to tell search engines about the pages on your website that might not otherwise be found, as well as provide additional supporting information about the pages. They are essentially a structured list of all the pages in your website. As well as the list of pages you can advise search engines on when the page was last updated, how often it is updated and the relative priority of each page within your website. They can also contain information about media within your website such as images.
