Sitemap
is very important for search engine optimization. Sitemap create a file for web
crawlers, as a result Googlebot get the idea about your web pages and it helps
to crawl in search engine. Formerly Google Blogger user able to submit sitemap
only post pages. And for submitting Post page’s sitemap we use sitemap.xml file. This file containing
all of your Blog posts list. But this list excluded your Blog’s static pages.
As well as those static pages remain invisible in your Blog feeds. For this
reason we are unable to publish those static pages.
Static
pages also very essential part of any Blog, because it contains much important information.
Most of the Blogger or webmaster creates About Us, Contact Us, Privacy Policy,
Disclaimer, Terms of Service pages on Blogger static pages. As a result
visitors often can visit those pages from respective Blog. If Googlebot crawl
those static pages on search engine then visitors will often see those pages on
search engines result pages.
There
is good news that Google Search Console is now started accepting sitemap for Blog’s
static pages. And webmaster can submit separate sitemap for Blogger static
pages. I will show you how to submit sitemap for your Blog’s static pages?
Step #1: Go
to https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/home?hl=en and sign in with Gmail account
Step #2: Now
click on your blog to enter it to the webmaster Tools
Step #3: From left side click on Crawl to expend and select Sitemaps
Step #4: At
the top right side click on red
color ADD/TEST SITEMAP button.
Step #5: Now
add your sitemap in the dialog that appears at once like below code
http://www.bloggerspice.com/ sitemap-pages.xml
You have to add
only sitemap-pages.xml line for
static page sitemap submission. If you wish to test your sitemap then click “Test”.
Step #6: When
the test is completed, click “View test
results” to check for errors. Generally error may arise for spelling error
or other reason, so fix your errors. And click “Close test” to exit from Sitemap testing page.

Step #7: After
you fix your errors, can again click ADD/TEST SITEMAP button.
Write sitemap-pages.xml in the dialog that appears, and click “Submit”.

Now you will see your sitemap has
submitted in Google search console but pending for indexing. Generally it will
take 12 to 24 hours to get indexed in Google search console. So please be
patient and wait until indexing the static page sitemap on Google search
console.
How to check your sitemap?
You can check your sitemap after submission.
This is very easy to locate your static page sitemap. But for Blogger default
and custom you can use similar system.
If you are using Google hosted
Domain then you can check your static page sitemap like below. Just replace “bloggerspice” with your Blog name. Copy
the URL and directly paste it in your browser’s address bar and hit the “Enter” key from keyboard and see the
sitemap.
http://bloggerspice.blogspot.com/sitemap-pages.xmlFor custom Blogger site you can check your sitemap like below URL.
http://www.bloggerspice.com/sitemap-pages.xml
Sometimes sitemap may not index. It
can happen because of “Custom Robots
Tags”. Suppose you have selected the option “noindex“for specific page then Google search console won’t index
that page under your static page sitemap.
