    XML sitemap helps search engine to crawl your website. A sitemap is of two types html sitemap and an xml site map. The search engine will get all the knowledge about your web pages by only one page. XML sitemap is useful for making any website, flash and non html language searchable. The old methods as submitting to search engine get replaced by xml sitemap. There are also automated sitemap generator available.

    The main use of creating a xml sitemap is to tell the Google robots "hey that my pages can be located at this place why don't you come over here and have a look at it" Now what makes sitemap useful is the spiders need not to worry about where the page is located instead of it can directly go and check your page out.

    The easier for a crawler to find your content, the easier it should be for your visitors to do the same, and that's a good thing in the eyes of search engines.

    make sure your htaccess and robots are also right and in order.
