What is the use of site map?

[maxsamuel]

 A site map that mirrors the site structure well can help the user to reduce the feeling of being lost during navigation, to understand the organization of the site, and to search for required information quickly and accurately. However, site maps were not as successful as they had been expected, and users often overlooked site maps or were reluctant to use them.

Hello..
Sitemaps are particularly helpful if:
a)Your site has dynamic content.
b)Your site has pages that aren't easily discovered by Googlebot during the crawl process—for example, pages featuring rich AJAX or images.
c)Your site is new and has few links to it. (Googlebot crawls the web by following links from one page to another, so d)if your site isn't well linked, it may be hard for us to discover it.)
e)Your site has a large archive of content pages that are not well linked to each other, or are not linked at all.
Thnx...

Hello,

Sitemaps are a way to tell Google about pages on your site we might not otherwise discover. In its simplest terms, a XML Sitemap—usually called Sitemap, with a capital S—is a list of the pages on your website. Creating and submitting a Sitemap helps make sure that Google knows about all the pages on your site, including URLs that may not be discoverable by Google's normal crawling process.
