    Sitemap is meant to help crawlers detect any errors in your site.

    If you have a five page website, then I won't suggest to.

    But, if you have a website with more pages and growing, sitemap does help to manage in crawling errors and other issues.

    Having an easily accessible Site Map makes it easy for your visitors to find what they're looking for on your site. Experienced users will often ignore the regular navigation links and head straight for the site map. That way they have to wade through fewer pages to find the information they're looking for.

    A well-designed Site Map(s) helps the search engines find and index your pages easier. The Site Map ensures that every page on your site is no more than two clicks away from the home page. The search engines are virtually guaranteed to find and index all of your pages by crawling the Site Map page.

    Having more pages indexed helps raise your site's Google PageRank and increases your website traffic. And as we all know, getting lots of traffic is the key to making money with your website.

    Of course yes. It's actually more helpful for big sites having thousands of pages where it is very hard placing links on each page to get them crawled.

    if you have thousands of pages, it's helpful, if not, then it's really no big deal.

    If your site is hosted on Wordpress, you can install a plugin called Google Sitemaps which will do this automatically.

    Search engines love to see a sitemap because it allows them to navigate through the webpage very easily.
