Add Sitemap to Google Yahoo and MSN

A sitemap is certainly a good way to let the search engines know about the pages deeper in your blog sometimes it takes a while for MSN and Yahoo to index all of your pages, they pay more attention to pages that have proven to be popular as judged by the number and quality of the links pointing to the site. Since newer sites tend not to have many links yet, the engines crawls them less frequently, and one more thing you must verify your web site and this might be the first thing to search if Google, Yahoo and MSN are not crawling your web site.

Note : Blogger uses an RSS-feed as a Sitemap and this done automatically for you, which is limited to the most recent posts. By default, atom.xml / rss.xml only contain 26 posts. If you want to increase the number of posts in your atom.xml, change your URL to:

atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=1&max-results=100
This will give you 100 posts.

If you have more than 100 posts, simply add another URL to get the next batch:
