Blogger: Sitemaps Wrongly Sorted & Causes Indexing Delay

Blogger: Sitemaps Wrongly Sorted & Causes Indexing Delay Blogger has updated sitemap.xml file to host over 3000 links but the nested pages are wrongly sorted which causes indexing delay. Around Feb, 2015 we announced that blogger creates a dynamic sitemap.xml file for all blogspot blogs and you don't need to submit your RSS or Atom Feed links to Google Search Console  anymore. Later we discovered that this sitemap file  created only 20 nested pages  where each nested page  linked 150 blog posts  so in total this sitemap would submit only 3000 posts to search engines. For blogs which had more than 3000 posts published this was a problem. To counter this issue we introduced  Blogger Sitemap Generator tool  that helped you to create remaining sitemap.xml nested pages. Just this week blogger has fixed this issue permanently and now blogspot sitemap.xml file will dynamically create nested pages for all your blog posts inside the sitemap index. Which means whether you

Why Blogspot Gives Two Description Fields To Edit?

Why Blogspot Gives Two Description Fields To Edit? Blogger settings allow users to change the description of the blog twice. Once under "Basic" option and next under "Search Preferences". Blogger dashboard settings allow users to change the description of the blog twice once under the " Basic " option and next under " Search Preferences > Meta Tags " option.

You can call it as your  blog   punch line ,  blog slogan or a   br

Blogger Introduced Sitemaps For "Static Pages"

Blogger Introduced Sitemaps For "Static Pages" Blogger introduced sitemaps for static pages which contains the list of all pages published. Submit this sitemap to Google. Blogger blogs have a  sitemap.xml  file which contains link-list of all " Posts " published by a user. But what it lacked was the list of " Static pages " which this sitemap file did not include. These pages also don't appear in the sitemap generated at atom.xml or rss.xml and there is no way to publish a file on blogger. Just recently I observed that blogger now auto generates a separate dynamic sitemap for blog pages which contains list of all static pages published so far. The sitemap for blogspot static pages is located at   /sitemap-pages.xml . You can now easily submit your pages to search engines to properly get them crawled and indexed. Where is your Static Pages Sitemap Located? You can access your pages sitemap by typing the following URL in your browser'
