    I was told that a site map can help me get better rankings in Google. Is it true? Should I add a Site Map to my website?

    You should but instead of hoping for better rankings you should just expect a fuller picture of your site in the SERPs.

    Do you ever search before posting? This has been discussed before.

    Also as sarahk said in another thread

    You are still grappling with very basic SEO things so you really might want to consider hiring someone as because you have so much to learn it will take you quite sometime to learn what you need to know in order to get any decent SERPS other than for your sites actual names. :)

    yes it's true sitemap get good ranking bcz if your site have not good sitemap so google check all pages only on home page but in you have sitemap so google crawl sitemap that time your site all pages are index and daily update google your database so your ranking will improve also your page rank and traffic will increase.

    In SEO each activity connect with other activities so and in SEO small mistake create another mistake so do each and every activity good and SEO friendly.

    Sitemaps are used to indicate to search engines the entire list of pages you want indexed. So it is a good idea to have a sitemap for your website listing all the pages you want indexed in the search engines. But dont expect higher rankings just because you have sitemap.

    Hi,
    Sitemap will not help u in ranking but can help you indexing all your website pages in search engine . Some time website navigation system is not strong enough and search engine crawler can't find sub pages while crawling your website so this case you have to create a sitemap for google it can be in xml for yahoo its urllist.txt and for bing xml again .

    SEO will improve your ranking for sure

    further if u want to index a page that is hidden without sitemap then you can give that page a link back from other website .

    Cheers

    No a site map will not help you get higher SE rankings.

    However most noobs think so.
