Google says this in their webmaster guidelines. Let us expand the subject. What Google says is that each page is visited by search engine robots through the links.

They find a link in the home page and index that page. In the just indexed page they find a new hyperlink, they visit the new page and index it.

Search engine robot moves from link to link.

This means that without hyperlinks you create hundreds of pages submit it to Google; no pages might get indexed except the home page. May be they are talking about a possibility because other kind of links may not be so easily understood by the search engine?

We don’t know how far this is true or whether every engine follows the same procedure. In any case you want good ranks for that matter you would do anything that’s not very difficult. In fact search engines will find your new site even if you don’t submit to them but if you are linked from another already indexed site. This is because they follow every hyperlink to see the new baby out there.

Google is not asking for much. Create at least one static link to every page.

Always create a good Sitemap.

There are two ways to do this. Create a site map, link every page or create a site map, link all the main pages and the sub pages under it must be linked from each main page.

Or you can completely eliminate sitemap and make sure outside the sitemap every page gets linked from at least one page statically.

Programmatic linking may be fine however Google advises static linking because may be some programmatic linking can be difficult to follow.

Anyway there is no harm in creating a great sitemap irrespective of whether you link statically or not. It has other advantages besides helping engines find pages. It is a good method to give a snap shot of the whole site quickly and easily to any visitor.
