As a blogger you must create a sitemap so whenever you make a new post search engines can crawl and index them easily. In this post let’s see how to create sitemap for Blogger blog and submitting it to Google webmaster tools and in robots.txt.
Default Blogger sitemap

By default your blogger blog will have sitemap, but the issue with that sitemap is it only shows your recent blog posts . A perfect sitemap is that it should contain the list of all you pages so that search engines know the complete structure of your site. Let’s see how to create sitemap for Blogger blog.
How to create sitemap for Blogger

3 Allow: /

Reasons

No images - make your wordpress blog look alive with images

Full article Posting - make use of the read more button , dont post all your articles details in your main page try to get atlest 2 pageviews from each visitors

Bad theme - change the theme and add more plugins\

Edit Copied articles - when a visitor visits your site , he or she see's that all your articles are copied they might not want to come back again
and some ads service unit wnt accept your approval because all they see there are copied even with links arghhhh.............

thats all the errors i can see for now

okay read below

Setting Up With Your Own Domain Name



Google provides free blogging at .com, and allows you to point your personal domain to it. There two parts to this process. First, setting up your account to permit this, and secondly, configuring the DNS for the domain with easyDNS.
Setting up your Google Account

Log into your account at .com and then click on 'Settings' on the left-hand side



Now click on 'Publishing' - this will bring up the following screen



Click on 'Add a Custom Domain' to bring up the next screen


Click on 'Switch to Advanced Settings'

Now enter your domain name WITH the www prefix (in our example, we use www.easydnstest.com) and click 'save'.


You'll see an error message. That's ok. Copy the two records it asks you to create and open a new browser window (leaving this one open).

Leave this window open, as we'll need to go back to it again in a few minutes.
Setting up your easyDNS account

Log into web.easydns.com and go to your domain management. Click on the left-hand side of the page (on DNS Settings) to see all your DNS settings.



Now find 'aliases CNAME Records' and click the little wrench icon to edit the records as below



Enter the two records as shown in the example below and click 'next'. Agree to the changes (it will show an error saying one of these is invalid - that's ok. It's just used by Google to verify you have control of the domain).

Now click on DNS Settings on the left again, and select the wrench for 'hosts A Records'



Now enter the records shown below, click next, and then confirm the changes.



Congratulations - you've set up the records for your domain at easyDNS
Finalizing the changes at

Go back to the tab you have open for , and now click 'Save' again at the bottom of the page. This time it will accept the changes, and bring you back to your main page.

Now click into 'Publishing' again as you did in the first steps (Settings -> Publish) and select 'edit' beside your domain name



Put a check in 'redirect yourdomain.com to www.yourdomain.com' (where yourdomain.com = your own domain name) and click 'Save'

Now you've completed the setup at .

From now on, anyone going to your domain name will immediately be directed to the blog, and your own domain will appear at the top!


Please note that easydnstest.com is a domain name i use for testing purposes. It may not lead to a blog site. hope this helps you
thanks sir
