I think so....

Just started looking at sitemaps.....
Am considering http://www.xml-sitemaps.com/
They have a very inexpensive php program that can be scheduled to run 
from a cron job - am looking closely at this - haven't decided.
Sitemaps, Froogle etc are all free to implement via the Google base 
interface. Use the term Free at your own risk...lol... Not sure how 
much TIME it will take.

I created a couple of sitemaps from the above web site for a couple 
simple sites that I maintain, and it worked well - testing to see how 
long it takes for Google to add these pages to the index.

Let me know what you come up with.
