As you said that if i have more than 500 posts�.we have to add a second sitemap with max-results being 1000. But the submitted column shows only 500. What�s catch here ?

Ankit Singla
You have to add both the sitemaps one by one. It will work for first 500 posts and it will work for posts after 500.

BloggingTrendz
Hey Ankit Singla,
Please check your post again, because you have written atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=501&max-results=501 as you said atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=501&max-results=1000 works for after 500 posts. Hope you got my point

Thanayut
I have over 4000 post in my blog. What should I do?

Ankit Singla
you have to put multiple sitemaps in your google webmaster account.
atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=1&max-results=500
Look at bold text in the above code.
start-index=1 : Refers to the starting number of the post
max-results=500 refers to the limit of posts in that sitemap.
If you have 4000+ posts in your blog then put sitemaps in below manner
sitemap 1: from 1 to 500
sitemap 2: from 501 to 1000
sitemap 3: from 1001 to 1500
Hope you understand I am trying to say. Good Luck!

Vishal
Thanks so much for this�i didn�t know how important it was and never would have figured out how to do this on my own. thanks again!
But actually, I have a question: do you only have to do this once and it�s automatically updated whenever you have a new post (or when u reach 1000 posts�? Thanks!

Ankit Singla
Yes dear, it will automatically work for all of your posts. Once you cross the limit of 500 posts, then you just need to submit one more sitemap. Simple

Inmobiliario
Is it posible:
atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=1&max-results=1000 ?

Ankit Singla
Yes, you can use it but I recommend you to divide sitemap into 500 posts.

Nityananda Hazarika

I am a newbie blogger. Sorry but I didn�t exactly understood what it is for. All I knew is that I have to do it in order to claim ownership of my blog and improve my index rate. (do not understand �index rate� either) I just gave it a try, why not? I am not sure what will happen. But thanks anyway. Your instructions are very easy, even a newbie like me got it.

Neeraj Mishra
It takes so much time by Google to index my new posts. I hope that after submitting my sitemap this problem will be resolved. Thanks a lot for sharing this helpful information.

Samandar Nichari
Submitting Sitemap is one of the most important things to be done. Whether it is Google Webmaster or Bing Webmaster we need to do it before all other tasks. You�ve done a good work while bringing this thing to the readers.

Sumit
Should you submit a sitemap larger than the number of posts you have?
i have 1200 posts, should I submit 1001-1500?

Pradip Patil
Hello Ankit,
I have a bloggger blo having posts more than 500 and i submitted the sitemap generated from other website but that website generated sitemap as But you have written that for posts more than 500 the site map should be
atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=500&max-results=1000
i am confused which sitemap is correct �index=500&max-results=1000? OR �index=501&max-results=500? Please help me and also i have read on some websites that using this type of sitemaps reduces the traffic. is it correct.

Cyracks Zenda
Thanks a lot for this post. i tried submitting the sitemap you stated above but i still see no changes. will i have to wait for some days or few weeks?

Nadish Jayasuriya
Hey i need some help, i have submitted my sitemap 4-5 days ago and i used this code � /feeds/posts/default� as far as i know it only indexes up to 26 posts but my blog has more than 35 posts, so today i have submitted your code as well. So my question is will there be an issue having both these codes on �Google webmasters tool �?

Vivek
Hi,
I submitted it but the issue is that it is going with only maximum of 500 urls. I tried changing the number in the end but it does not works. Any idea about submitting like more than 1000 urls ?

Neeraj Kulkarni
Thanks a lot for that. Usually the site maps can be generated by some free online resources. They usually come in .xml form. But I was in a fix when I wanted to index my blogspot blog. This post helped me to submit the sitemap pretty quickly. Didn�t understand the redirect part though. But, anyway, it got indexed and will be crawled within a few hours I suppose. Thank you for the tutorial.

Mario Garcia
Thank you so much Ankit for you simple instructions. It only took me 1 minute to copy and paste it and I got a confirmation from webmaster tools.

Nikhil
I have two questions.
1. Lets say I have manually created folders inside my blog, how am I going to put site maps for those URL�s.
2. And how to create sitemaps if there are 1000�s of URL�s involved. I know there are websites that offers the service for free, but they dont seem to grab everything 100%
Any thoughts? thanks for explaining the process.
