    my site is an very established one that has no problems being indexed whatsoever, how important would you say it is that we implement sitemaps? I also read somewhere that even googleguy said whether you participated in sitemaps or not it would have no effect on your SERP's!

    If you have an established site that is well-indexed and spidered regularly, I doubt very much that you'll see a noticeable difference by adding a Google Sitemap.

    I just want to say that Google sitemap.xml.gz files do work.
    In 4 days we saw results better than we were able to accomplish for a dynamic content site that hadn't been properly indexed in 1.5 years. Now 10's of thousands of pages are indexed.

    The tool that we recommend can be found here:
    http://www.web-design-pros.ca/forum/viewforum.php?f=12

    We'd appreciate it if you would register to provide us with feedback on it.

    It spiders dynamic content (php, jsp, asp)
    It filters unwanted pages
    It generates a sitemap.xml file
    It generates a sitemap.xml.gz file
    It can report bad links
    It can ftp the file
    It can anonymously ping the GoogleBot
