A sitemap is a list of web pages available for the search engine crawlers. Sitemaps are important from the point that you will need to submit your sitemap to different search engines. Although, Search engines today will automatically crawl your articles in time, submitting sitemap will ensure its done sooner. And there is no missing out too.
I have seen most of the bloggers, both blogspot and WordPress users, searching information about sitemap and generating them with the help of softwares, plugins or some websites like www.xml-sitemaps.com/. These are equally helpful ideas for generating sitemaps.
But do you know that both WordPress and Blogger has a default sitemap for you?
Here is how to find your default sitemap for both the platform.
WordPress provides a default sitemap for the blogs for both hosted or non hosted. You can find your sitemap by adding /sitemap.xml to your homepage address.
Lets say you are usingWordPress.com blog and your address is www.abc.wordpress.com, so your sitemap will be www.abc.wordpress.com/sitemap.xml.
If you are using a self hosted blog on WordPress and have bought a domain, its the same process for finding out the sitemap. If you own the domain www.abc.com hosted onWordPress, its sitemap would be www.abc.com/sitemap.xml.
Blogger also provides a default sitemap for every blog.
If you have a blog as www.abc.blogspot.com you can find your sitemap as www.abc.blogspot.com/robots.txt.
Similarly, if you have bought a domain for your blogspot blog, the sitemap can still be found at www.abc.com/robots.txt.
