sitemap is very important to get listed in Google. if you dont use, the manual indexing will takes lot of time.

 

It is better to have both sitemap and good navigation. If you greatly value your web visitors include both. Sitemap serves as a guide to them.

 

I agree with this. I also believe sitemap accelerates the speed of your pages getting indexed by Google and other main search engines.

 

I am too agree with it...

 

Disadvantage of a sitemap?

Read my interesting story:
I had a site with 10k+ pages. I created a sitemap as google recommends it everywhere. Guess what happened? Yahoo indexed my sitemap and displayed the sitemap in the search results instead of the actual pages. Can you believe this? Then I had to delete the sitemap. Check your sitemaps if they have been indexed or not.

 

I really not much aware of this. But i think the following link will help you solve your doubt.

sitemap is very essential from SEO point of view.
crawler always see the sitemap when crawling a site.
if it found,it just crawl all the link that are included in sitemap

 

Well actually sitemap is important because that sometimes our site is in danger area or we have done some kinda spam work then our Google Webmaster Tool check our sitemap on regular basis and inform us about our work and website that is it going good or have some problems in it.

 

yes very important for link structure for a website and all link for google bot.

 

I recently created a site map for my site. I don't see any harm in it, but it is probably not that big of a deal if you don't have one.

 

To crawl every topic of your site there should be must site of a particular site. The Google webmaster tool is the best tool for indexing your site. Watch the index status of your site. I am also suffered from this situation but after using the Google tool as is going well.

 

Sitemap is necessary as it makes sure to know Google bot all pages of your site. Due to sitemap, it becomes easy to crawl all your pages and index them.

 

Sitemaps are must according to my experience.

 

yup ..it help your crawl by your site because of xml site map ...its necessery to all website put sitemap.

 

Sitemaps are often a great way to improve search engine visibility because it enables all pages to be found. Site map Also useful for large websites, frequently updated websites, and websites full of archival content, whose pages are hard to reach via links.

Sitemap Ao usefull for additional information about the pages in your website such as:

A ) The date a page was last modified.
B ) How often pages change (daily, weekly, monthly, yearly)

 

xml sitemap is necessary and it helps to crawl website more frequently.
