Create xml alternative sitemap for Blogger and submit Google, Bing for increase your website traffic

Do you know what is xml-sitemap?
An xml site map is a map that contains your all blog or website pages which that you want to submit into a search engine.
Why you create a site map?
For indexing your blog or web pages quickly into a search engine to get a better traffic from search engine.
Today my discussion topic is "Create xml alternative sitemap for Blogger and submit Google, Bing for increase your website traffic". I know it is not possible to upload an xml file as a sitemap into blogger platform. But you can use an alternative. To use this alternative you don't need to upload any kind of files.
Upload sitemap into Google webmaster tool
First, Go to https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/ and sign in with your Gmail account and password. If you have no Gmail account first create an account. If you need any help to create Gmail account you can read How to I create a free email (gmail) account step by step.
Second, after log in your account click on "ADD A SITE" if your site is not listed yet. And verified with meta tag option or with upload a HTML site. You can read How to I upload a HTML file into my blogspot and verify my blog.
Third, Then click on your blog url and you are now your webmaster dashboard. Then click "Sitemaps" under Optimizations.
Fourth, Click "ADD/TEST SITEMAP" and paste /feeds/posts/default?orderby=UPDATED and finally click "Submit Sitemap". Now your site is successfully submitted. If your blog pages are more than 25 then similarly paste /atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=1&max-results=500 (for first 500 pages) /atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=501&max-results=1000 (for second 500 pages) /atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=1001&max-results=1500 (for third 500 pages)..........
Upload sitemap into Bing webmaster tool
First, Go to http://www.bing.com/toolbox/webmaster and sign in with your hotmail or live account and password. If you have not hotmail or live account click "Sign up with Microsoft Account" and create an account first.
Second,  For first time it shows you Add a Site interface. If not, click Add a Site link. And give your blog url http://www.yourblog.com into URL* field and paste http://www.yourblog.com/feeds/posts/default?orderby=UPDATED into Add a sitemap field and click ADD. Your site also successfully submitted into Bing. If your blog pages are more than 25 then similarly paste /atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=1&max-results=500 (for first 500 pages) /atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=501&max-results=1000 (for second 500 pages) /atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=1001&max-results=1500 (for third 500 pages)..........
