    Essential to let Google know you are there, what your pages are for indexing. Simple answer.

    If you have a very large site and have spent the time looking at the crawl stats, and are completely happy with why pages are in and out of the index, then adding a sitemap can lead to an increase in the number of pages in the index.

    XML site map is mainly for search engine crawler not for visitor. It allows webmasters to inform search engines about URLs in your website for easy indexing. Submitting a XML sitemap to search engines such as Google, Yahoo, and MSN will not only help your website being indexing rapidly and proficiently but also increase your website’s visibilities in search engines as well.

    There are mainly two type of sitemap- HTML and XML sitemap. HTML sitemap is for website's visitors to navigate a website easily. XML site amp is purely for search engine crawlers to find all important urls of your website easily and rapidly
    for indexing.

    According to my experience XML site map is generally for search engine crawler not for any visitor. It helps crawlers to find all important url of the website. It allows webmasters to include extra information about each URL. This allows search engines to crawl the site more wisely.

    XML sitemap is only for search engine because here we listed all the important pages of website in XML coding form at a single page and when crawler moved at page index most of web page at same so value and weight of website going up.

    IF you have a very large site and there is too much no. of pages then you put the xml sitemap on your website, it is used to basically crawl and index the all pages.

    XML Sitemap helps search engines to get to know the proper URL structure and navigation of your website. It also help in indexing of your website. HTML sitemaps are for users and xml sitemaps are for search engines.

    XML sitemap is essential for the visibility of a site by search engine crawler. An XML sitemap is useful for websites where some pages are updated more frequently or where some pages are more important than others.

    An XML sitemap, is basically a list of the different URLs of a website but the list is created using very specific syntax that all search engines spiders are trained to understand. Using an XML site map for – Sitemap based SEO - accelerates search engine indexing because an XML site map informs search engine spiders about the different URLs of the website in a language they understand.

    If you want to create a sitemap you should do both HTML and XML.
    It is not so important for small websites (<20pages) but why not having it.
    It is important for large sites though.
