How to Submit A Sitemap to Google, Bing, and Yandex?

A blog’s sitemap is a list of posts and pages available for public access. This list is usually indexed by crawlers and accessed by users or readers. A sitemap may be in a simple HTML format, but modern web technology is used and recommends XML format. These formats are always in a hierarchical fashion. HTML sitemaps are user-friendly, i.e., readable by humans. An XML sitemap is search engine friendly but not in a readable format for humans.

3. Sitemap submission by Ping

In this post, we will discuss how to ping your blog’s sitemap to major search engines Google, Bing, and Yandex.

The Blogger blog’s sitemap is in XML format and can be found at this link.
