Sitemaps basically show Google search bots you recent activity quicker and without the bells and whistles than can cause crawl errors. Submitting sitemap to Google is the best way to increase your traffic. Submitting a sitemap means to send request to search engine for the indexation of your blog's all posts and pages in search engine. If you have a blog which contains 30/40 posts, pages then you must submit sitemap to search engines in order to increase the traffic of your blog. The first sitemap only contains your 26 most recent posts ! If you have more than 26 posts they are not indexed.You should still add both sitemaps, the more the better. There are two main steps to submit sitemap. First is verifying your blog on Google Webmasters Tools and second is submitting the sitemap. So friends what are you waiting for, let's start it.

Step 1. Verify Your Blog in webmaster tool
