Search engines use sitemaps to find the pages on your site, including URLs that may not be discoverable by normal website browsing.
Include a sitemap in your SEO process especially when:
- Your website has dynamic content.
- Your website has pages that aren't easily discovered - for example, Web pages featuring rich AJAX or Flash.
- Your website is new and has few links to it. (search engines search the Internet by following links from one page to another, so if your website isn't well-linked, it may be hard to discover.)
- Your site has a large archive of content pages that are not linked well to each other, or are not linked at all.
