Once you have verified your site with Google Webmaster tools, Google
Sites will auto-generate a sitemap xml file. Your sitemap will be
generated at:
http://sites.google.com/a/(your domain)/(site name)/system/feeds/sitemap for Google Apps.
http://sites.google.com/site/(site name)/system/feeds/sitemap for sites under sites.google.com/site
Once these Sitemaps have been created, you can submit them to Google using Webmaster Tools.
