FTA: Before I go further, you should know where I stand on XML Sitemaps: They’re not necessary for most web sites, especially for most simple, small business web sites.

Glad to see I’m not as alone as I thought I was on this subject..

Oh, geez.  Has someone been whining about sitemaps again.  For mega ecommerce sites with pages ten levels deep, a sitemap can help search engines find all those pages that would otherwise be buried deep in the basement.  For most websites, the engines will find the pages on their own.

The tiitle says it all. If Google doesn’t need a sitemap, why call it an error.
