3. Submit your sitemap to all search engine in one click.
While I was finding ways to submit sitemaps of blog to search engines, I found this online tool ping sitemap submitter. This tool promises that it will submit your XML sitemap to all search engines in one click. I tried it and successfully submitted to all google and Bing. Problem is that I am not sure whether it really submitted or not.
But still it is easiest way to submit blogs I found in internet. So I think there is no problem to give it a try. Visit here its official website to submit your blog. But do not submit same XML sitemap URL again and again.
As we know about 90% web users use Google or Bing. Therefore if you submit your sitemap to both, then it is sufficient.
