    Is it a good idea for me to put a g sitemap on my site. I am already indexed and a pr5. I get reindexed every 3 days. what advantage would a sitemap give? could it hurt my rankings that i currently have for some popular keywords?

    It's a good thing to do. IMO that won't hurt your rankings. And there you can put how ofter you change your content to achieve a better crawling delay.

    Make sure you continue to update your sitemap and re-submitting it to the Engines - in regular intervals. Otherwise, you will be better off not submitting your sitemap.

    Cheers

    if you generate lots of fresh content, site map (xml) will help to quickly comunicate it to search engine

    If the site does not have new content often is this still a good idea? Is there a stable tool around that will create the site mao for you? Anything upto $100?
