Sitemaps

[sapper]

I have been trying for almost a week to submit a sitemap to google. I have tried the:
sitemap fx MOD
Sitemap.xml
Sitemap.txt

even following the guidelines set out by google, yet it still refuses to find it and index the URL's.

Can anyone help me set this up please, I'm totally lost as to what to do now.

I read on Wikipedia that a sitemap just helps Google Crawler bot to crawl your sitemap, but it does not Guarantee that your pages will be index by Google.

Maybe having a link to your sitemap on the header of your homepage may help Google find it.

The opinion on the effectiveness of sitemaps is divided, google do stress that you need it for effective SEO, and to improve rankings.
Thanks for the link, thats the info i used to submit a .xml sitemap, and that didn't work either.
