Blogger Sitemap Guide Understanding Blogger's sitemap system

What is a Sitemap?

A sitemap is an XML file that lists all the URLs on your blog that you want search engines to crawl and index. It acts as a roadmap for search engine bots.

Blogger's Built-in Sitemaps

  • sitemap.xml — Default sitemap showing up to 500 recent posts. This is the most commonly submitted sitemap.
  • sitemap.xml?max-results=9999 — Full sitemap showing all posts (up to 9999). Useful for large blogs.
  • sitemap-pages.xml — Sitemap for your static pages (About, Contact, Privacy Policy, etc.)
  • feeds/posts/default — Atom feed of all posts. Can also serve as a secondary sitemap.
  • feeds/posts/default/-/LABEL — Posts filtered by a specific label/category.

Sitemap Limits in Blogger

  • Default sitemap shows only the latest 500 posts
  • Use ?max-results=9999 to include more posts
  • If your blog has over 500 posts, Google may not index all URLs from the default sitemap alone
  • For very large blogs (>9999 posts), you may need to submit multiple index sitemaps
  • Blogger automatically generates and updates sitemaps — no plugin needed
Robots.txt Guide Understanding robots directives

What is Robots.txt?

Robots.txt is a text file at the root of your website that tells web crawlers which pages or sections they should or should not crawl. It's one of the first files search engines look for.

Common Robots.txt Directives

  • User-agent: Specifies which crawler the rule applies to (e.g., Googlebot, *, Bingbot)
  • Disallow: Tells the crawler NOT to access the specified path
  • Allow: Explicitly allows a crawler to access a path (overrides Disallow)
  • Sitemap: Points to the location of your XML sitemap
  • Crawl-delay: Specifies a delay between requests (in seconds). Not supported by all crawlers.

Blogger-Specific Paths

  • /search — Search results and label pages. Disallow to prevent duplicate content issues.
  • /search?updated-min= — Archive pages by date. Disallow to reduce crawl waste.
  • /p/ — Static pages. Allow for important pages (About, Contact), disallow if you have many low-value static pages.
  • ?m=1 — Mobile version redirect parameter. Disallow to prevent mobile duplicate indexing.
  • /feeds/ — RSS/Atom feeds. Usually fine to allow, but can disallow if preferred.

Frequently Asked Questions Click to expand
How often does Blogger update its sitemap?
Blogger automatically regenerates its sitemap whenever you publish, edit, or delete a post. Changes are typically reflected within a few minutes. You don't need to manually update or regenerate your sitemap.
Why is Google not indexing all my posts?
The default Blogger sitemap only includes up to 500 recent posts. If you have more posts, use sitemap.xml?max-results=9999 to include more. Also ensure your robots.txt isn't blocking important pages, and submit your sitemap in Google Search Console.
Should I disallow /search in robots.txt?
Yes, it's generally recommended for Blogger blogs. The /search path generates label pages and search results that can create duplicate content issues. Disallowing it helps focus crawl budget on your actual posts.
Can I use a custom domain with this tool?
Yes! This tool works with both blogspot.com URLs and custom domains. Simply enter your custom domain URL (e.g., https://www.myblog.com) and the tool will generate the appropriate sitemap and robots.txt URLs.
What's the difference between sitemap.xml and feeds/posts/default?
sitemap.xml is a proper XML sitemap optimized for search engines. feeds/posts/default is an Atom/RSS feed. While Google can consume both, the sitemap.xml format is preferred for search engine crawling. The feed is better for RSS readers.
Does crawl delay work with Google?
No. Googlebot does not support the Crawl-delay directive in robots.txt. Google controls its own crawl rate through Google Search Console settings. The crawl delay directive works with Bingbot, Slurp (Yahoo), and DuckDuckBot.
Can I add multiple sitemaps?
Yes, you can submit multiple sitemaps to Google Search Console. Common ones for Blogger include: sitemap.xml (posts), sitemap-pages.xml (static pages), and label-specific sitemaps for important categories.
Will changing my robots.txt affect my search rankings?
It can, both positively and negatively. Properly configured robots.txt can improve SEO by directing crawlers to important content. However, accidentally blocking important pages can cause them to be de-indexed. Always test changes carefully and monitor in Google Search Console.
Tips for Better SEO Best practices for Blogger blogs
