How to Submit Blogger Sitemap to Google Webmaster Tools

Submitting Blogger Sitemap to Google Webmaster tools is a must for any blogger that wish to be successful. Submitting your blog sitemap to Google webmaster tools will help your blog in the sense that whenever you make a new post on your blog, Google will get notified and your blog will get indexed on Google search engine. Bloggers say, “If you are not on Google, you are almost invisible to the world”, yes this is rightly said because if you blog is not submitted to Google Webmaster tools, there is high tendency that all you blog post might not get indexed on Google search engine and this might make you become invisible to the world despite your hard work.
