Are there any clear indicators that my sitemap file is beneficial?




The good:


You provide search engines with all the urls in your site


But, does the search engine search further than the provided urls in the xml site map?
If you have a website with a forum does every post need to be in the sitemap?

What if remove the sitemap afterwords, will the search engine need to start over?
