If a specific website is powered by web pages which are connected to each other very well, perhaps there is even no need to make use of additional sitemap pages or files. The main reason behind recommendations made by the experts and big companies about using sitemaps is to provide search engines with tools for accessing various sections of the websites in an easier and better way, indexing and crawling contents faster.

If you add fresh contents to your website on a constant basis and at the same time use simple text-based links to create bridges among the contents, both people as well as search engines will be easily able to find the materials and access them. For very large websites like forums and some blogs that have thousands of pages, uploading an XML version of sitemap can be still recommended, help boosting up indexing rates.
