I use the WordPress sitemap generator plugin on all the sites I setup. I think it's a critical component for getting sites indexed accurately and quickly. And it's painless!

See www.sitemaps.org/protocol.php for more information. Though you do not have to use multiple sitemaps, you may want to for various reasons, including how many URLs you are using (there is a limit of 50,000 urls per Sitemap), or because you are running various software that creates multiple sitemaps (like Wordpress). You can include all the sitemaps your site uses in the siteindex. @Danny Cooper for very large corporate websites with thousands of pages, this could mean substantial bandwidth savings. But keep in mind, a Sitemap is a tool that could be used as a free and fairly time effective solution. Rather than spending thousands of dollars on a remake of your entire site and all its navigation, you might consider implementing a Sitemap. Then again, it may be that redoing the site navigation is less time intensive and cost effective. It's really going to depend on a per case situation. @MichaelD you can use as many sitemaps as you want or require by using the siteindex tag.

Is the usage really that substantial though? I've never thought of it in terms of bandwith, but now you've mentioned it, it seems obvious =P. Is the usage really that substantial though?

Perhaps for a future post. @Solinkable I love the Wordpress plugin for that fact. @kouji I'm not very familiar with Blogger blogs, I've always owned my own domain with hosting. Hosting is so cheap now days :D @Comparison Shopping glad you enjoyed the post.

I have never seen any disadvantage of using a sitemap but people often mention about some errors and problems, so everyone should take care while installing sitemaps for their websites and blogs.
