      What changes to a website constitute resubmitting a sitemap?  For example, if I add new in-site links, should I then resubmit?  Or is it more for changes to URLs, Page titles, etc?

        In my opinion the best solution is to automate the process. For any site with user generated content or where content is being added frequently, I set up a CRON job to create and submit a sitemap daily. It really is a one time, set it and forget it type of thing.

        • Do we need to manually submit a sitemap every time, or can we host it on our site as /sitemap and Google will see & crawl it?
