      Hello,

      I have just updated content at some URL site links, and I also added new URL content.

      Should I submit URL or re-create a sitemap then submit it to search engines?

      And please advise me some tools for submit them?

        Your sitemap should be updated whenever you create new pages. That's the point of having a sitemap.

        If you're feeling impatient, you can try submitting your new/edited pages via Google Webmaster Tools, but I haven't noticed that having much of an impact. The best way to get new content indexed is to point internal & external links to it.

          Thanks!

          Should I use auto-submit URL tools to submit new URL to search engines?

            No, there is a submit option in Google Webmaster Tools under Health -> Fetch as Google.

            You can also just point some links to it from a few social bookmarking sites. If you're using Wordpress, you can include a few ping services to notify under your Writing settings:

            • Would a Search Engine treat a sitemap hosted in the cloud in the same way as if it was simply on /sitemap.htm?
