What are Sitemaps?
Sitemaps are text files containing a list of all web pages that exist on your website and are accessible to crawlers and users. These helps visitors and search engine bots to find pages on website. Sitemaps are a way to help Google indexing pages on your site which otherwise might not be discovered.
If your blog is hosted on blogspot.com (or if you are using a self-hosted version of Blogger with a custom domain) you will be surprised to find out that the default sitemap file, contains only the 26 most recent pages of your blog which in normal case should contain all URLs of a website.

Hi admin, my blog posts are getting indexed in Google without any problem. But Bing is not doing the same job. Because not all my blog posts are indexed by Bing. What's the problem there? I even submitted sitemap to Bing but nothing works. I also checked your blog's posts there, every posts were indexed by Bing. How you did it? Please kindly let me know the solution. Thanks.
Thanks for sharing this. These codes can also be used to submit the blogger site to bing.
Hi. I've tried this but after the Webmaster's Sitemap Test result, it is showing me that 404 Not found. www.itechvalley.in/sitemap.xml
Help.!
Hi,
If there is already one sitemap submitted when the total posts were less then 100, and now when they increases by 500, so do we need to remove the old one and submit the new one?
Thanks in advance
