How to add your blogger blog sitemap to your Google Webmaster tools ? - my blog readers often ask me this question. Unfortunately, Blogger blogs don't have real sitemap and you can't create it. But do you know that your RSS or Atom feed are some kind of sitemap?
'Why do I need to add sitemap to Google?' - Well, the short answer is : it will help Google to crawl your blog pages better and faster.
You can add your RSS feed to Google Webmaster Tools and Google will use it like sitemap of your blog.

I didn't find "Add General Web Sitemap" Where is it? I want to submit a sitemap of my blog: http://chankeypathak.blogspot.com/
Help!
I could not understand what is the reason that why Google blog (Blogger) site map cannot be generated? or how RSS feed site map can be submitted. so its better to make blog on wordpress then when its sitemap cannot be generated.
I'm using this for my site "atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=1&max-results=500" any feedbacks or anyone using the same? here is my site, http://makisale.blogspot.com
