I read somewhere a while back that it's good for SEO if you submit your submit your site map. I think it was to google or maybe some other site I can't remember. Anybody have any experience with this?

Cheers

    Its always a good idea to submit all site maps to google. It definitely can't hurt, and I personally think it helps get pages indexed quicker.

        How about experimenting and letting us know?

        Maybe have one site that you do submit the site index map, and one that you don't...

        And then check the results?

        Happy SEO!

    If you have a Google account - go to Webmaster Tools - everything there.

    I would advise setting up an account with google webmaster central. You can manage your sitemaps, analytics, etc. in one place.

    Take care!

    I created a blog on a new domain. Used some sitemap plugin, wrote an article submitted it to goarticles and I was index in about 48 hours. Not sure if it was the article or the sitemap submission but I was in. It can't hurt to submit your sitemap along with anything else you employ to get your site indexed.

    My 2 cents

    Did you submit it as a .xml file? And is that .xml file present on your site?

    This is the "normal" method for google and you should be able to check the validity through the Webmaster Tools menus.
