How to Ping Blog Sitemap to Google and Bing

How to Ping Sitemap to Google and Bing - Google and Bing are search engines that enable you to submit your sitemap via ping service without login to your webmaster account if you don't have time to do that. Of course, you can use sitemap pingers available on internet, but are you sure that they are safe? This article is going to show you how to do that. It is expected that by pinging your sitemap to Google and Bing, those search engines' robots will crawl your URLs faster than the conventional method.

To ping your sitemap to Google and Bing, you need to save two URLs:

1. Your sitemap URL:
   • example: https://writingnblogging.blogspot.com/sitemap.xml
2. Your RSS URL:
   • example: https://writingnblogging.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default?alt=rss

   To have your RSS URL, you can right-click your blog homepage and view the Page Source. As your page source opens in a new tab, press CTRL+F and find rss. If you are using BlogSpot, you can simply change writingnblogging to your blog name.

The first URL will be needed to ping sitemap to Google and the second one will be needed to ping sitemap to Bing. However, before you continue to ping your BlogSpot sitemap to Google and Bing using this method, I must remind you that:

Do not overdo pinging sitemap to Google and Bing (or other search engines) except you have updates to be crawled and indexed by them. Overdoing this will get your blog banned by search engines because it is considered as spam. You are warned!

Now, let's do it!

How to Ping BlogSpot Sitemap to Google

We are talking about pinging or submitting your sitemap to Google without login to webmaster account. If you have your a webmaster account in Google, you can resubmit your sitemap from there. However, I am afraid if this method is easier and faster as other people out there said.

After having your sitemap URL, you need to have the Google Ping Service URL; here is it:

https://www.google.com/webmasters/sitemaps/ping?sitemap=

You can see that the URL contains a parameter sitemap that needs to be assigned a value after the sign =. All you need to do is to put your sitemap URL after the =sign without space. You may need to put the URL and modify it on a text file before entering into your browser. To ping your sitemap to Google easier and faster, you need to copy the complete URL to your browser and press Enter.

As the sitemap ping is success, you will be notified by Google that your sitemap has been successfully submitted or something. Here is how the notification looks like:

Sitemap Notification Received

Your Sitemap has been successfully added to our list of Sitemaps to crawl. If this is the first time you are notifying Google about this Sitemap, please add it via http://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/ so you can track its status. Please note that we do not add all submitted URLs to our index, and we cannot make any predictions or guarantees about when or if they will appear.

How to Ping BlogSpot Sitemap to Bing

Again, this method can work without login into Bing webmaster.

To ping your sitemap to Bing without login to webmaster, you simply copy the Bing ping service URL below:

https://www.bing.com/webmaster/ping.aspx?siteMap=

As you can see, the URL also contains a parameter called siteMap which needs to be assigned a value after the = sign. Copy this URL and paste it into a text file and add your RSS URL after the = sign without space. I am thinking that you can also put your sitemap URL after that sign.

Just like Google, Bing will notify you that your sitemap has been successfully submitted or something. Now, all you need to do is waiting while creating new contents in your blog. This is how Bing notification looks like:

Thanks for submitting your Sitemap. Join the Bing Webmaster Tools to see your Sitemaps status and more reports on how you are doing on Bing.

Are you happy with this?
