Note: Our series on [a href="http://www.mybloggertricks.com/2012/01/what-skills-are-needed-by-professional.html" target="_blank"]Pro blogging[/a] will continue parallel to this new series.
Purpose of This Series:
This series is the only thing you will need while starting new blogs. It will include every single SEO detail required to set your blogs go viral. From sitemap submission to [a href="http://www.mybloggertricks.com/2011/09/remove-blogger-sitemap-errors-in-google.html" target="_blank"]crawling errors[/a], you will find solution for all your problems. I personally apply this technique for my blog and blogs of my clients. I will share how to add noindex and nofollow link elements to [a href="http://www.mybloggertricks.com/2011/09/what-exactly-are-blog-labels-or.html" target="_blank"]categories[/a] and archives correctly because a lot of miss-information is hovering in blogosphere related to these terms. I am sure this series will play an important role in making SEO no less than a fun.
Why Does Google Indexes Limited Pages?
2. Count total number posts. The count is visible just below your blog title on your dashboard.
3. If your total post count is less than 500 then you must submit the following sitemap:
For Blogs with posts less than 500
atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=1&max-results=500
If your post count is more than 500 but less than 1000 then submit the following two sitemaps instead:
For Blogs with posts less than 1000
atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=1&max-results=500
atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=501&max-results=500
For Blogs with posts less than 1500
Similarly if your post count is greater than 1000 but less than 1500 then you will submit the following sitemaps and so on...
atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=1&max-results=500
atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=501&max-results=500
atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=1001&max-results=500
You have now successfully generated or created the sitemaps. Lets know submit them to Google.
Submit Sitemaps You Just Generated
- Go To [a href="http://www.google.com/webmasters/" target="_blank"]Google Webmasters[/a]
- You will see list of all blogs that you created at blogger. Choose your main blog
- You are now on the Dashboard page where you can see reports related to crawl errors, search queries and sitemaps.
- Click the More » Link just under the sitemaps report.
- Towards top right side, click the ADD/TEST SITEMAP button
- In the empty blank paste your first sitemap and then click "Submit Sitemap". Repeat this step for remaining sitemaps until you have finished submitting all the sitemaps that you generated.
7. Now Google will take at most three days to crawl and index every single page of your blog. After 1-3 days you will find that all URLS that you submitted are successfully indexed. Following is the report for MBT.
As you can see in the screenshot above that I have submitted three sitemaps instead of two. The last one which contains 26 URLs is an optional one because we already contained our first 26 URLs under the 500 limit. Since the total number of my posts plus pages are 614 therefore I submitted the following two sitemaps accordingly
atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=1&max-results=500
atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=501&max-results=500
Need help?
You have now learned how to generate multiple sitemaps and submit them correctly. Our coming parts will be even more specific. If you are encountering any problem just let me know so that I could help. Stay tuned for upcoming parts. Peace and blessings pals! :)
