    Whenever you make any update in your files/urls, you need to update your sitemap.xml file

    It depends on the type of website that you have, but generally I generate a sitemap every 2-3 days or so, to include the newly created links.

    If your site is big enough and you have a huge amount of links I would probably create a cron job on your server to update the sitemap automatically everyday... Another option is to install an xml sitemap generator on your website... This software will allow you to run a new sitemap now and then..

    I think site maps should be changed once in a month. This is enough for the most of the sites.

    I think 3 month is too long, one week is better (depends on your updates).

    The xml site map is intended to inform Google of new or changed pages and hence I would say that you only need to re-submit when you have new or changed pages.

    Definitely depends on the frequency of web updates. If your website is fairly large and updates happen frequently, there is nothing harm in changing/updating a sitemap. It will do good than bad.

    When you change the content on your site, you should update the sitemap.

    On my blog - its updated everytime I add or modify an article.

    On my forum - its updated every 24 hours.

    But both of my sites have automatic sitemap generators installed. Meaning I just add the content and the sitemaps take care of themselves.

    You can update it any time when you update your internal pages of the website otherwise, there is no need of it.
