Blogger Sitemap Generator Guide

Learn how Blogger sitemaps work, how to find Blogger sitemap URLs, and when to create a simple XML sitemap manually.

Blogger sites handle sitemaps differently from many custom websites. Depending on the blog setup, a Blogger sitemap may be available through generated feeds or platform-specific URLs instead of a manually uploaded XML file.

Before generating anything manually, try to find the existing sitemap with the free Find Sitemap tool.

Common Blogger sitemap patterns

Blogger sites may expose sitemap or feed URLs such as:

https://example.blogspot.com/sitemap.xml
https://example.blogspot.com/atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=1&max-results=500

Custom Blogger domains can behave differently, so check both the custom domain and the original Blogspot domain if you still have access to it.

Why Blogger sitemaps can be confusing

Blogger has platform-generated feeds, custom domain settings, themes, and redirects. A sitemap URL that works on one blog may not work on another.

If a sitemap checker reports a redirect, non-XML response, or blocked request, open the URL in a browser and confirm what Blogger is serving.

Generate a simple XML sitemap

If you have a small Blogger site or a custom domain with normal HTML links, try the XML Sitemap Generator. Enter the site URL and Sitemap Watch crawls same-domain pages, follows canonical URLs, skips nofollow links, and creates XML sitemap output.

For larger Blogger archives, a generated feed or platform sitemap is usually better than relying on a small public crawler. You can still paste a manual URL list in the generator when you already have canonical URLs.

Validate before submitting

After finding or generating a sitemap, run it through the Sitemap Validator. Confirm that it returns XML and contains the URLs or child sitemaps you expect.

Good Blogger sitemap hygiene is simple: submit canonical URLs, avoid duplicates, and recheck the sitemap after theme, domain, or platform changes.
