Adding your website to webmaster tools :
Before you can add your site to the webmaster tools you have
to first register in webmaster tools and then login, in the login area you
would find the option 'add a site', enter you website address here and click on
'continue', then click the 'alternate methods' and select the option 'add a
meta tag to verify the tag', copy this
meta tag, go to your site edit html page and then paste this tag between the
<head> and </head> tag, save the file and in webmaster tools, click
on 'save and verify'. This would add your site to webmaster tools, you can add
as many sites as possible with a single webmasters account.
Sitemaps :
Sitemaps are the html / xml representation of all
the page urls of your site, any sitemap file would have all the addresses of
each of its pages, When such types of sitemaps are created and submitted to the
search engines automatically, all the webpages of your website are entered in
the search engine directories. Each website has got one sitemap.
Adding the sitemap file in webmaster tools from blogger.com
----------------------------------------------------------------
In blogger sites, when a site is built the sitemap files are
created automatically in the background in the format:
domainname.com/rss.xml
domainname.com/atom.xml
note : it does not have 'www'.
While adding atom.xml file if it is redirected to Feedburner
account, you may get an error in Google Webmasters tools while adding Blogger
sitemap. For this particular problem, just adding '?redirect=false' to the
sitemap url will solve this problem. So the sitemap address that you should be
adding is:atom.xml?redirect=false
The default number of URLs in Blogger XML sitemap is 26 for
rss.xml or atom.xml file, so within Webmasters tools you will see there are 26
total URLs. But if you have more than 26 posts and less than 100 posts then you
can add the following sitemap:
atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=1&max-results=100
For more than 100 posts, add a second sitemap:
atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=101&max-results=100
For more than 200 posts, repeat above to add a third
sitemap:
atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=201&max-results=100

If you are using www in the domain name then the respective
sitemap file would be :
www.yourdomain.com/feeds/posts/full
