Many of us wonder why our site doesnt appear in Google search even if we provide the entire blog address. The answer is very simple. Google needs to be informed that you have created a blog. To do this follow the following steps.
Step 1 :
Add your site to Google Webmasters
To do this, go to Webmasters home and then you will find an option to add site. There you have to fill in your site address.
Step 2 :
Now you will be prompted to "Verify Ownership". Let the verification method be "Meta tag". Copy the meta tag given. Now you have to paste this in your blog template. To do this go to Blogger -> Dashboard -> Layout -> Edit HTML and paste this tag just below <head> tag and save template.
Step 3 :
Now go back to Webmasters and click verify.
Step 4 :
This is the final step. In Webmaster Home you will find your newly added site.Click it to open dashboard. Then go to Site Configuration -> Submit Sitemap or else you will find a link to submit sitemap at right-bottom side of the screen.
Click "Submit a Sitemap".
It will display your site address along with a text box. There just type "atom.xml" or "rss.xml" and submit.
Thats it. You have done your job. Your site starts appearing in Google search in a few days.
