    Absolutely. Just make sure you have a couple of good backlinks to your site.

    Hi,

    Obviously Google ll crawl your website. I do agree with you that sitemap really does help to get index your website quickly!

    Yes, google will still crawl your site as long as your content is fresh and unique. The only problem is the frequent of crawl
    Try to get more quality backlink if possible

    Google will crawl your content. The difference is the amount of time that the crawl will take and the frequency of crawls there after.

    A Google sitemap will alert Google of all the content on your site. It also has fields for how frequently you change a page and how important the page is to your site. Without a sitemap, Google has to guess. Sitemaps are especially helpful if you add pages/posts often... each time you add content, you should submit an updated sitemap.

    if you don't have sitemap then you can create it free from any free sitemap generator site . search on google . there are many and then just put it to your site root.

    To ensure that Google crawl your website often you have to write unique quality content. Also a quick way to get Google to crawl your site is to submit it to free website analysis sites which you can find by search for that phrase. Many of them create a page on the internet with a link to your site and such pages are often crawled by search engines

    Yes Google will crawl for sure. XML just make a path for spider that how he will crawl your site. It doesn't make any impact in ranking. Your site will still rank either you have XML or not. :)

    Yes, Google will crawl your web pages, which will get discovered with the backlinks...
    It is not sure that Google will crawl your whole website in one go.
    Its better to have a .xml sitemap on the website so that crawlers can crawl your website completely and efficiently.

    There is no doubt that Google won't crawl you website, but the depth to which it will crawl and the number of pages it will index depends only on how clean your web page URLs are and the internal linking structure. If its a small website, it won't be a trouble but if it has many pages with complex structure, then yes there could be problem. Keep checking it through GWT.

    I don't think it helps ranking. It makes googlebot crawls your website easier and nothing more.

    Sitemap.xml file helps the robots to crawl page by page. But his is not mandatory.

    Definitely. Google will crawl your website. But it is a good practice to create a XML sitemap for the website. Sitemap helps your website to get indexed quickly.
