I done it .Lets see what will happen to my traffic
@Nitin, It’s not an compulsory procedure. BTW, Google may crawl Blogspot blogs without any webmastertools submission (I am live example) but adding to it gives you option to track errors and traffic improvement in blog. Alongwith, you get so many useful options to optimize your site content.
