    Google won't create xml sitemap!
    You are supposed to create the sitemap.xml file (using some of the free tools available on the net) and submit the same to google for faster crawling and subsequent indexing.
    Hope this helps :)

    Google accept many types of sitemaps. For an overview about sitemaps types and their differences, you can check this sitemaps article.

    Dont even need to be XML
    Just greate a file with one URL per line and submit it.

    Simple, and it works.

    Sitemaps should be plain text or XML.

    raimis100: No need for XML unless you will spesify different settings/indexing speed etc.
    If you are going to just give Google etc URLS, plaintext does the job.

    If you disagree, please give me some links with proof/info. :)

    That's right, simple page with all url of your site.
    I'd do it for my corporate website which has 10-15 pages & no addtion of content. (not like blog)

    Sitemap definitly helps in frequent crawling and indexing of a website.
    But there is nothing like that Google creates xml sitemap.
    Rather we have to make our site's sitemap and have to submit it to Gogle.
    Thanks.

    Google do not create any site map. you can create XML site map of your site and you can submit it on google webmaster tool. So it will help to in crawling. :)
