    Should I let my current sitemap get indexed or should keep resubmitting it as I update my site

    so keep resubmitting as site updates or wait for google to index it then resubmit?

    it's much better to resubmit your sitemap after updating your site. That's when google can traverse well your subpages. But either way, if you have a good linking structure... you won't have to worry about resubmitting your sitemap... yet again... it would not hurt if you maintain your sitemap... hehehe...

    If you are talking about Google sitemap, just submit once then, Google will keep crawling it..

    Just submit your sitempa once in Webmasters tools and then no need to re-submit it.. Just keep updating your sitemap as your sites get updated, Google will do the rest..

    whenever you update your site with contents, update the sitemap.xml and submit it to google through webmaster tools. This facilitates faster indexing of your updated contents by google.

    That means you only need to submit once to Google sitemap. But if you want to get your new pages to be indexed more quickly by Google, you should then re-submit again immediately after its update.

    you dont need to resubmit your sitemap again. you must do it one time but you must update your sitemap after you added somethink to your site
