Blogging platform such as wordpress and blogger have configured sites of ping servers with them, meaning as soon as new articles are published search engines are notified to crawl and index new posts.

On the other hand, sitemaps are lists of urls and web pages of your website, you submit these sitemaps to help search engines crawl and index your site.

Question, do I still need to submit a sitemap of my blog if I deleted any web pages in my site? Or do sitemaps only apply to websites other than blogs? The main purpose of a sitemap is to help search engines in indexing all web pages of a website. If a website;s all pages have been indexed without a sitemap then that website may not need a sitemap.

Instead of a sitemap, You can create few backlinks for a web page to get crawled and indexed by a search engine.
