How To Get All Your Blog Posts Indexed (And Not The Latest 26 Only)

So you did everything you knew about getting your blog indexed in Google. You submitted your blog in Google Webmaster tools, You sbmitted your feed address as site map. What now what? Even after a wait of 4-5 days, you find that only 26 URL's are submitted to Google for indexing and not all. That's very frustrating. But that's logical by Google. Feeds only submit only the latest 26 posts. So If you have started a new blog and you have less that 26 posts on your blog, this method will suffice for you.(What is indexing and how to do it?) But If you were blogging since a long time and have more than 26 posts in your archive, you will face this problem. So what is the solution? How to get all your posts submitted and indexed by Google? I was facing the same problem with my blog and after an extensive search, I found this solution. Here is how you can do it. -

If you have more than 100 posts and want to post all to Google Sitemap, add these two as new sitemaps in your Google Webmaster account -
atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=1&max-results=100

atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=101&max-results=100

If you have more than 200 posts and want to post all to Google Sitemap, add these three new sitemaps in your Google Webmaster account -

atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=1&max-results=100

atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=101&max-results=100

atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=201&max-results=100

If you have more than 300 posts and want to post all to Google Sitemap, add these four new sitemaps in your Google Webmaster account -

atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=1&max-results=100

atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=101&max-results=100

atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=201&max-results=100

atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=301&max-results=100
As you can see the above, start-index is the post number to start returning results from and max-results is the how many posts you want returned from whatever the number you state on start-index. The maximum max-results is 500 (from many blogger) but to be safe, it is recommended to put 100.

After you do as stated above, within 10 minutes, you will find that these sitemaps will be accepted and all your URL's will be submitted for indexing. Indexing will take some time, say a week or so.This is THE solution for getting all your posts indexed.
