Google Sitemaps: A More Efficient Way to Submit Your Webpages … and now Yahoo! has copied Google and wants users to submit an xml sitemap also!
It used to be, getting new pages or sites indexed by Google took a long time. That’s because Google wants to find new sites as a link from pages that Google already knew about. Google’s spider typically revisits pages that are already indexed and discovers new links that point to new pages. Now Google wants to learn about new sites as a specifically formatted list which is submitted directly to them.
Google Sitemaps requests you to place a specially formatted site map file (in xml language) on your web server. Then, when you notify Google of the new site, the Googlebot spider will crawl your pages and place your site in the index.
