Is Sitemap Important?
Search engines use automated software called "crawlers","spiders" or "robots" to trawl the Internet looking for content to index.
Typically these crawlers are quite passive; they simply follow hyperlinks. Most of the time this works well, but there are a growing number of cases where crawlers fail to find and index important online content. Such cases include content that is:
* inside databases, usually only accessible via a search form;
* linked to through dynamic code, eg. JavaScript, Ajax, Flash;
* obscured in some way, eg. through redirection, framesets, iFrames;
* presented dynamically, especially using multiple, variable parameters;
* restricted by user authentication, eg. CAPTCHA, log-in or user session;
* not linked to at all.
