differences.

1 sitemap.xml (Recommended for Google Search Console)

2️⃣atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=1&max-results=500 (RSS Feed Sitemap)

✅ Lists up to 500 recent posts

✅ Used for RSS feeds & alternative indexing

✅ Can be submitted to Google, but less effective than sitemap.xml

✅ Helpful if sitemap.xml is not working

📌 Example URL for Your Blog:

👉 https://smartmoniempire.blogspot.com/atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=1&max-results=500

If sitemap.xml does not work, you can submit this as an alternative sitemap.

Can be used for third-party feed readers or social media automation tools.
