Google Webmaster Tool Slow With Updates?

Google Webmaster Tool users in a Google Groups forum are irate about their sites not receiving regular query updates.

It began with a post that said "Seems Query stats for my site have frozen. They haven't changed for about 6 weeks. They used to update at a good rate. Seems my internal links haven't changed either. I included several new pages and they are turning up in Google search but not in internal links tool. Sitemaps and last crawl date are seemingly the only data that is updating."

A user's rant "If Google is having some kind of technical problems it would be considerate to let us know" sounds too familiar to a previous report we mentioned "Google AdWords Faces Snag, Users Distressed" about a setback faced by Google AdWords users.

Google's Johnathan Simon responded "Our engineers are currently working on getting the Query Stats in Webmaster Tools updated. We expect to have the latest data available by the end of the week."
