Check your blog is indexed by Google or not

Most of the people want to check whether Google indexes their blog or not. I am going to show two simple approaches, to check whether Google indexes your blog (or) not, how many posts of your blog indexed etc.,

Approach 1

Open Google search engine, and search for ‘site:sitename’. For example to search for my site, I searched like ‘site:self-learning-java-tutorial.blogspot.com’.

Approach 2

Go to Google Webmaster tools, register your blog and submit your blog sitemap.

How to Submit site map?

Once you register your blog in webmaster tools, you can able to submit sitemap.

Go to crawl -> Sitemaps

Click on the button ‘Add/Test Sitemap’. Add following url and test the sitemap.

/atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=1&max-results=500

Above url adds first 500 urls of your blog. To add next 500 urls use following url.

/atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=501&max-results=500

After submitting your site map, Google considers your request and start indexing your pages (Usually it may take couple of days).
