How to Add a Google Sitemap to your Blogger Blog
Sitemap file is like a directory of all web pages that exist on your website or blog. Search engines like Google and Bing can use these sitemap files to discover pages on your site that the search bots may have otherwise missed during regular crawling.
An complete sitemap file should mention all pages of a site but that’s not the case if your blog is hosted on Blogger
Open the Sitemap Generator and type the full address of your blogspot blog (or your self-hosted Blogger blog)
Next go to your Blogger dashboard and under Settings – > Search Preferences, the enable Custom robots.txt option (available in the Crawling and Indexing section). Paste the clipboard text here and save your changes.
And we are done. Search engines will automatically discover your XML sitemap files via the robots.txt file and you don’t have to ping them manually
