Sitemap is important to all websites because search engines can easily find web pages of websites.

Sitemap is very important for Website, there are two type Sitemap, one is XML sitemap which is helpful for crawling your site url by search engine, and one is html which is helpful for visitor to get all url of the website at one page.

Sitemaps offer the opportunity to inform search engines immediately about any changes on your site.you cannot expect that search engines will rush right away to index your changed pages but certainly the changes will be indexed faster, compared to when you don't have a sitemap.

Sitemap is one of an important factor for search engine to get identify various web pages in your website. There are basically two types of sitemaps are available one is XML and other is HTML. XML is designed for google and HTML is for visitors to get information. With the help of sitemap google easily identify the pages for indexing and crawling.

Using sitemaps has many benefits, not only easier navigation and better visibility by search engines. Sitemaps offer the opportunity to inform search engines immediately about any changes on your site. Of course, you cannot expect that search engines will rush right away to index your changed pages but certainly the changes will be indexed faster, compared to when you don't have a sitemap.
Also, when you have a sitemap and submit it to the search engines, you rely less on external links that will bring search engines to your site. Sitemaps can even help with messy internal links - for instance if you by accident have broken internal links or orphaned pages that cannot be reached in other way (though there is no doubt that it is much better to fix your errors than rely on a sitemap).
If your site is new, or if you have a significant number of new (or recently updated pages), then using a sitemap can be ***** to your success. Although you can still go without a sitemap, it is likely that soon sitemaps will become the standard way of submitting a site to search engines. Though it is certain that spiders will continue to index the Web and sitemaps will not make the standard crawling procedures obsolete, it is logical to say that the importance of sitemaps will continue to increase.
Sitemaps also help in classifying your site content, though search engines are by no means obliged to classify a page as belonging to a particular category or as matching a particular keyword only because you have told them so.
Having in mind that the sitemap programs of major search engines (and especially Google) are still in beta, using a sitemap might not generate huge advantages right away but as search engines improve their sitemap indexing algorithms, it is expected that more and more sites will be indexed fast via sitemaps.

There are two types of sitemap you should have on your website.

1. Sitemap.html - Its useful for the users who visits your website to find the information or page they are searching.

2. Sitemap.xml - Its important to have because, the search engine can know about all your pages through sitemap.xml.

So both sitemap are important if you want you website to get more visitors.

According to my opinion sitemap is the basic need of any website .

[guptaabhijit318]

A sitemap is normally known as a file of the XML type which has the function of listing the URLs for any site. The sitemap allows the webmaster to add further information about the URL such as the last updates, the changes in the URLs and how often it is made, and also the importance of the URL in relation to the others. Sitemaps can prove to be beneficial in certain situations such as the inability of the user to access every area of a particular website through the interface of a browser.
