Default google sitemap

ONe of the tools on the backend of my site is 'generate google sitemap'.
after i press that button, an option pops up to 'submit sitemap'.
How often can that be done? Maybe I submitted it a month ago, but i've added a lot of pages since.
Or is once enough?

As I know, the google sitemaps are downloaded by google once at two days ... i guess you can submit the sitemap daily - also, if you have many urls, it would be better to split them in more sitemaps files and create a Sitemap index, which will have in it the names of your sitemaps files.

everytime you make changes to your site, adding new pages, taking out useless pages..I would update the sitemap and resubmit it to the search engines

gregharaksin, take a look on www.sitemaps.org - it says there about sitemaps and sitemaps index - you can use those to keep the number of links per sitemap smaller(under 50 000 links)

Greg uses the REW CMS, which generates all his xml for his Google sitemaps for him with the push of a button - Greg, feel free to check out the great resources being posted, but in your case they are purely educational, as you don't really have to sweat the technical stuff

I don't seem to have the tool on my backend for generating a google sitemap and/or submitting it to google. Can someone please advise me where this is and how to do it?
Thanks!
