  26. i’m trying whole month already!

  27. @psydex
    Let me know the sitemap URL you have submitted?

    hi…… i signed up for webtools and i did every thing.
    but whenever i try to see my page in google index pages it’s not there.
    what should i do

  40. @Rana
    Usually Google index blogspot pages very quickly. My posts get indexed in just 2-5 minutes after publishing. If you have submitted the sitemap as I explained in this post, wait for one or two days to get the sitemap approved by the Google Webmaster. Hope you get it right soon.
    Regards..

  50. haseeb says:

    thanks i was searching for this information

  51. Daniel says:

    Many thanks, Shafar.

    My site had been verified earlier, I had not added the site map, yet.
    I went through the process steps again, for the verification, just out of curiosity.
    Mainly, as I do not recall having to copy and paste anything in the process.

    Note: When I re – verified my site(Just to test it) I was given a prompt(On the left hand side) stating there are three options for verification. There were two non copy and paste options.

    Thanks again, Daniel.

    Thanks man great stuff.

  56. Wonderful information. I will bookmark it for the future.

  57. Nacho says:

    Hi!

    I did that about a month ago and no I am having trouble with it.

    About a week ago I posted for the 26th time in my blog and since then, the URLs submitted have not updated to the number of posts that I have now.

    I resubmit the sitemaps, their status is “Success” but there is no update in that number. It stays in 26.

    What should I do?

  58. Shafar says:

    @John
    Hi John, just add a slash (/) at the end of your meta tag (/>)

  59. Nacho says:

    Thank you Shafar.

    I did that. Let’s see how it works. I’ll let you know in a couple of days. I had 5 different sitemaps submitted and they all stayed in 26 urls submitted. I heard that that can happened due to Duplicate title and description tags. I am working on it now, and I am having less errors than before. Let’s see what happens when I remove all of those issues.

    Thanks again!

  60. Nacho says:

    Hi again!

    I did that and it kinda worked for a few hours. The URLS submitted matched my posts and the URLS in web index were the same number.

    After a couple of hours the number of URLS in web index went down to 0 and it has been like that ever since.

    What’s wrong?

    Thanks in avance!

  61. Shafar says:

    @Nacho
    I didn’t have any problem with sitemaps when this blog was on Blogger platform. I guess it’s time to report your problem on Google Webmaster Support Forum:
    http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Webmasters?hl=en

    You can get more help from here:
    http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/

  62. Nacho says:

    Actually, it is pretty weird. I resubmit the sitemaps often and sometimes the URLs in web index are 0 and sometimes are the same number of posts that I have.

    I guess I have to report it there.

    Thanks for your help!

  63. Awesome guide for adding sitemap,Thanks for sharing…

  64. budhi says:

    great stuff, Thanks for your help!

  65. This helped me a lot, everything is ok and it seems like im on the verge of getting indexed which is great! Many thanks!

  66. bn says:

    thanks really is good explanation for me

  67. thnks it really help me <3<3

  68. William says:

    Thanks! I got the green check mark. Now, I wait for the indexing.

  69. technstuffs says:

    Thank you so much for this one! Very useful for starters

  70. thanks you i find it so useful

  71. stomach hair says:

    thank you so it really help me :)

  72. Thanks for this tip, i use to operate on a blogspot domain and everything was working fine even when i didnt submit a sitemap, i mean my posts were indexed very fast but ever since i bought a domain http://www.trueinternetworld.com 8 days ago my recent posts aren’t appearing on google search and even the old ones aren’t gaining much explosure as it used to and my blogspot pagerank has reduced, blogging is getting boring for me, please what do you suggest i do?

  73. Shafar says:

    @trueinternetworld
    Don’t panic, search engines takes few days to change the URL of your old posts to the new ones. Check whether old blogspot.com posts are redirecting to the new custom domain posts. Don’t forget to change the address in Google Analytics.
    Don’t leave blogging with silly reasons. I’m not active in blogging these days due to some other work, but never left blogging completely. Your blog is great, go on!

  74. Hey this was really helpful to me, thanks.

  75. Green Tea says:

    Boss,
    I have submitted the sitemap of my very young blog. It says index count pending. How long does it take to have my site index? Thank you.

  76. Shafar says:

    @Green Tea
    It depends upon the blog size and the mood of Google ;) . If you have more posts, it takes few days.

  77. Thanks shafar, my blog seems to be getting indexed ontime now but my traffic isnt as good as it used to be when on the blogspot domain, my pagerank stil 0, and i used to have a PR2 on the blogspot domain, please how do i enjoy blogging like before wit more traffic from search engines and earnings?

  78. Shafar says:

    @trueinternetworld
    If your old homepage and blogspot posts are redirecting to the new one, then you’ll get at least the same pagerank after Google next pagerank updation. Traffic and earnings depend upon the consistency of posting and uniqueness of the posts! Have the patience, it takes little time to get your blog well settled.
    Good Luck :)

  79. Thanks boss for your kind replies. I do update my blog almost on a daily basis but no improvement in the traffic, instead it sometimes reduces and my blog’s redirecting to the new domain. I also noticed two days ago that my blogspot domain address was automatically removed from my google webmasters page leaving only the .com i.e http://www.trueinternetworld.com please does it mean any negative effect?

  80. Shafar says:

    @trueinternetworld
    I checked Google and found 270 links are already indexed from your new URL and some are yet to be indexed from the old blogspot. As I said, have some patience. It takes a while to get your pagerank and traffic back. You can resubmit the new domain to Google Webmasters if the old one has been removed. For more help, refer their forums here:
    http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Webmasters?hl=en
    Good Luck

  81. Cathy says:

    Great tips, thanks so much!

  82. This is nice but i just want to ask one Question: Feed URL contains on 27 so something like this, but if you can give me another code or tip which i use that i could submit more links from my site?

  83. alwadifa says:

    thank you for the tutorial it’s really helpfull

  84. sagar sharma says:

    thanks dude
    for your precious help.

  85. Barry says:

    Thanks much, blogger is a monster (easy but difficult to optimize) you instructions help greatly.

  86. Furniture says:

    thanks for your useful post.. now i’ll add sitemap to my blog above

  87. thank you, this information is very useful for us all…

  88. Anji says:

    Thank you for this. My sitemap was submitted successfully.

    One question, though: It says 26 URLs were submitted–I have more posts than that. Will have to resubmit the sitemap later or will I have to do more than one?

  89. Shafar says:

    @Anji
    Try this:
    atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=1&max-results=500

  90. Anji says:

    Thanks, Shafar! Where exactly would I put that code? Do I just put that in the cell that asks for my sitemap url? Also, by putting max results=500, does that mean that it will map up to a maximum of 500 POSTS? Because each post has a different URL, right…??

  91. Shafar says:

    @Anji
    Yes, it maps up to 500 posts of your blog. Try submitting.

  92. Dexter says:

    I have successfully done the sitemap for the 500 posts. But how do I do it with those more than 500 posts?

    Pls help.
    Thanks.

  93. Shafar says:

    @Dexter
    Replace “500″ with any number of your choice.
