Finally Google has made available their Google Sitemaps for Blogspot user. One of the previous draw back when it comes to setting up Google Sitemaps for a free account is that most blogging platform which doesn’t let you upload files to your blog host’s servers. It seems that Google has now allowed bloggers to insert a meta code in their template for verification. Why you should use Google Sitemaps for your blogspot?
- your blog gets indexed better by Google, so that people will hopefully be more likely to find your blog’s webpages when they search on Google;
- when you update your blog, e.g. write a new post, you can ping Google, i.e. get Google to come and re-crawl your blog very quickly, so that people who search Google will find the most current information about your blog; and
- you can get more info about how Google indexes your blog, and maybe tweak it to improve the likelihood of people finding your blog in future when searching on Google.
