How to submit sitemap to Google webmaster tools

You have created new blog and waiting for google bot to crawl and index your pages? It can take days, maybe weeks for bot to crawl through your page so it would be wise to submit your sitemap manually. Go to your google webmaster tools, then undes drop down Site configuration you can follow link to Sitemaps.

After that you just click on submit a sitemap and your site url will be shown, waiting for you to enter path to sitemap, something like this: "http://youblog.blogspot.com/" and then you can enter rest of the path.
For blogspot accounts it is little bit unclear where is your sitemap, and if you don't have any plugins you want guess it. Here's a little trick, if my blog URL is http://traffic-4-you.blogspot.com/ then my sitemap is here http://traffic-4-you.blogspot.com/atom.xml so you must enter atom.xml in box and then click Submit sitemap. Wait for minute, two and then refresh your page to check status of sitemap. After that you have done it and under URLs Submitted will be shown number of your posts.


Pretty easy isn't it?
