Difference between XML sitemap and HTML sitemap
XML is primarily for the search engines while HTML is written for the users. A XML sitemap protocol is for search engine spiders or bots to detect site links. An HTML sitemap includes titles of all your posts and links for the users to see and navigate.
Are XML Sitemaps Important for SEO
Add XML Sitemap for Blogspot Custom Domains in Webmaster tools
We can create label sitemaps for posts..
Existing labels are used as categories in blogger. Well, let us change them, and make it more like a sitemap.
The existing label link is like following:
<a href=”http://www.example.com/search/label/ship%20me%20this”>One touch SEO</a>
Such a link consist of “%20” which is not good and it uses a search method rather than opening a specific page. SO we need a link which should be like the following:
<a href=”http://www.example.com/p/onetouchseo.html”>ship me this</a>
How To Create a Sitemap For a Particular label?
By changing the structure of the links of labels, the websites can get more internal linking with each posts. Hence get higher page ranking in search results. Now how to create sitemap page for specific label.
Copy the below code to a notepad.
<script type=”text/javascript”>
var numposts = 100;
var standardstyling = true;function showrecentposts(json) {
for (var i = 0; i < numposts; i++) {
var entry = json.feed.entry[i];
var posttitle = entry.title.$t;
var posturl;
if (i == json.feed.entry.length) break;
for (var k = 0; k < entry.link.length; k++) {
if (entry.link[k].rel == ‘alternate’) {
posturl = entry.link[k].href;
break;
}}
posttitle = posttitle.link(posturl);
if (standardstyling) document.write(‘<li>’);
document.write(posttitle);}
if (standardstyling) document.write(‘</li>’);
}
</script>
<ul>
<script src=”http://www.example.com/feeds/posts/default/-/Your Label?orderby=published&alt=json-in-script&callback=showrecentposts&max-results=999″></script>
</ul>
Replace www.example.com with your blog URL
Replace Your Label with “Search%20Engine%20Optimization” not “search engine optimization”. This is because the script identifies the link rather than the name of the label.
The script will show 100 post links in the page.
You can add content like an introduction before the script is added to post page.
Log in to your blogger account.
Go to blogger dashboard > Click on the Pages tab > Create New Page > Select a Blank Page.
Go to the HTML mode above the post body beside compose tab.
Paste the code after editing to it
Click publish and see what did you get.
This trick is very useful and need to be taken care in a careful manner.
