What is a Keyword?
Keywords are phrases or words. Remember search engine works
on the concept of keywords and each keyword has some value in the search
engine. You should always write your blog posts according to the keyword

post “How to submit your BlogSpot to Google Webmasters” here “How-submit-BlogSpot-Google-webmaster”
all and each word are keywords according to Google and every keyword has its Potential
to rank in Google.

to Index your webpage. By submitting your sitemap to Google it also means that
your website does exit on any corner on the search engine and has some existence.
Recommended for those who has more blog posts/directories because
sometimes the Google Bot ignores and as a result of that newer posts won’t show
in search engine, doesn’t matter if you have a few posts it’s good to submit so
that they’ll be cached whenever you post anything on your blog.
