A Blogger sitemap is a file or a webpage that lists all the blog posts and pages published on your Blogger website. It helps search engines like Google understand your website structure and index your content more effectively. Without a sitemap, Google may miss some of your content or take longer to show it in search results.
There are two types of sitemaps: one is the XML sitemap that’s submitted to search engines, and the other is a readable sitemap page for your visitors. In Blogger, the XML sitemap is automatically generated, but you can also create a custom sitemap page for users to explore your blog posts easily.
A sitemap is a special file or page that lists all your blog posts and pages in one place. It helps:
- Google bots find and index your posts
- Readers easily navigate your content
- Improve your blog’s SEO (Search Engine Optimization)
There are two types of sitemaps:
- Sitemap.xml (for Google)
- Sitemap page (for visitors)
In Blogger, both are easy to create — and you don’t need coding knowledge!
Why Is a Sitemap Important?
A sitemap is important for improving your blog’s SEO (Search Engine Optimization). It tells Google and other search engines about your blog structure, what pages exist, and when they were last updated. This helps in getting your blog posts indexed quickly and accurately.
For users, a sitemap page acts like a table of contents. Visitors can easily find older posts, explore topics, and stay longer on your site. This improves user experience, increases page views, and reduces bounce rate — all of which are good for your blog’s growth and monetization.
Here’s why every Blogger blog must have a sitemap:
| Benefits | Description |
|---|---|
| Google Visibility | Helps Google find and rank your posts faster |
| SEO Boost | Improves blog's crawl rate and structure |
| Better User Experience | Makes your content easier to explore |
| AdSense Approved Faster | Google AdSense prefers well-structured blogs |
How to Update Your Blogger Sitemap
The good news is that Blogger automatically updates your sitemap whenever you publish a new post or make changes to existing content. You don’t need to do anything manually. Your sitemap is always fresh and up-to-date for Google and other search engines.
Here’s what it looks like:
For Blogspot Domain:
- https://yourblogname.blogspot.com/sitemap.xml
For Custom Domain:
- https://www.yourdomain.com/sitemap.xml
