    Sitemaps are important for Search Bots to crawl your site.We can also generate the sitemaps for Google from wordpress using Google XML Sitemaps plugin automatically based on the settings. The plugin also updates your sitemap with search engines like Google, Ask.com, Yahoo and MSN automatically.

    @ pavan we can submit Google sitemap at google.com/webmasters/
    and yahoo at http://siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com/new/
