My Advice on Google Sitemaps - Verify, but Don't Submit
Citat:
The logic behind the practice is simple, if you follow the steps:
1. Without sitemaps, a search engine visits your site's pages through links on and off the site, indexing and ranking those pages it deems worthy of being indexed and ranked.
2. When a search engine crawls your site and fails to index particluar pages, you have a signal from the engines that those pages lack the necessary components for inclusion, be they architectural, link strength, content-related, etc.
3. Sitemaps enables search engine to crawl and index pages that they might not ordinarily include in a normal crawl process.
4. If a page lacks the link juice, internally or externally, or has content that engines wouldn't normally deem worthy of indexing, Sitemaps may overlook these weaknesses and include those pages in their indices.
