Resubmit Google Sitemap, Update Sitemap?

[howard11792]

I have added 8 new pages on communities in the area. When I add pages to my site do I resubmit my existing sitemap to Google?

Does the Google sitmap automatically update when pages are added?

Do changes need to be made manually to the sitemap?

Please advise.

Thanks

You have to change your sitemap manually. Don't bother to re-submit it though, particularly not for just eight pages. Google will find it the next time they pull your data from the site. However, I have never, ever, seen a marked improvement or better, faster indexing results as a result of submitting Googles's sitemap.

Google will find them if you have them on your site map or if you have any other internal links pointing to them. Wait or week or so and check to see if the pages are cached.

Howard are you using the CMS Google sitemap tool?
