Google index graph duration in Google Webmaster Tools
-
Hello guys,
I wonder, my sites are currently being indexed every 7 days, exactly. At Index Status page in GWT.
However, this new site gets updated almost everyday, how can I ask google to index faster and more frequently/almost daily?
Is it about SItemap.xml frequency ? I changed it today to Daily.
Thanks!

If you don't already, I'd recommend making sure you're sharing your new content socially and encouraging others to do so. Sharing on Twitter has really helped for me. The more your content is shared, either via links or social, the quicker Googlebot will get to it.
There's a few tips here from an older article, which might still be worth consulting: http://searchenginewatch.com/article/2223868/How-to-Increase-Googles-Crawl-Frequency
Google's general advice on how regularly it crawls a given site is also here: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/34439?hl=en
Hope this helps, apologies there's no hard and fast 'tell Google to do this', but honestly increasing sharing of links to the content really does help.

Webmaster Tools Search Queries Data Drop
Hi I'm seeing a significant drop in search queries being reported for a client in GWT starting on the 7th Feb. I have seen a few articles on SERound Table etc saying that many are reporting probs like delays etc with GWT updating its data, such as these ones: https://www.seroundtable.com/google-webmaster-tools-data-stalled-19854.html https://www.seroundtable.com/google-webmaster-tools-analytics-data-19870.html However these seem to suggest the problem is simply a delay with displayed data being updated, in the case im looking at the data is up to date but showing an increasing decline. When i look at Analytics data though the data is completely different. For exmaple GWT says on the 21st Feb there were 23 impressions with zero clicks but Analytics says there were 6 clicks/sessions from organic search. I take it this means that there is a likely problem with GWT data and I shouldn't worry ? All Best Dan

What can I do if Google Webmaster Tools doesn't recognize the robots.txt file?
I'm working on a recently hacked site for a client and and in trying to identify how exactly the hack is running I need to use the fetch as Google bot feature in GWT. I'd love to use this but it thinks the robots.txt is blocking it's acces but the only thing in the robots.txt file is a link to the sitemap. Unde the Blocked URLs section of the GWT it shows that the robots.txt was last downloaded yesterday but it's incorrect information. Is there a way to force Google to look again?

Duplicate content issue index.html vs non index.html
Hi I have an issue. In my client's profile, I found that the "index.html" are mostly authoritative than non "index.html", and I found that www. version is more authoritative than non www. The problem is that I find the opposite situation where non "index.html" are more authoritative than "index.html" or non www more authoritative than www. My logic would tell me to still redirect the non"index.html" to "index.html". Am I right? and in the case I find the opposite happening, does it matter if I still redirect the non"index.html" to "index.html"? The same question for www vs non www versions? Thank you

Google Webmaster Tools reports 404s for plain text. Should I create those URLs and 301 them to actual pages?
IA few years back I noticed that Google Webmaster Tools returns 404s from regular text containing a URL, but no anchor tag. I came accross this again today. Is it worthwhile to create those URLs and 301 redirect them to proper pages.
