    My site is http://www.hyundai-forums.com . I have done mod rewrite for this site to make it SE friendly. Do I still need to create a Google sitemap?

    Thx!

    Good question.

    Is googlebot able to find all you want indexed already? If not, then it can't hurt. If so, then it would be wasted effort.

    I have a blog at blogger. Google indexes only 25 pages of my 150+ post blog. Google is not able to index correctly even its very own blogs. Besides, can i add a site map for this blogger
