Remember one thing, if you submit sitemap of your site also then search engines crawl your site correctly. If suppose you have a blogger.com blog, http://myblog.blogspot.com then your sitemap is http://myblog.blogspot.com/rss.xml. For blogger.com bloggers their sitemap is always theirsite/rss.xml as explained above. Other website owners have to create their own sitemaps.

Google will take 12 to 24 hours for Sitemap inclusion. Google will take it's owntime for indexing your webpages in Google. Also one more thing you have to do. You have to verify your site so that Google will know that you are the owner of the site. In the above webmasters account google will supply a meta tag. Just copy that meta tag.
