I believe that Google improving their update frequency for your web sites will help boost your ranking on Google’s search results if your web site or blog is updated frequently, since Google seems to be favoring “current” information these days. However, only time will tell. Either way, this is an obviously welcomed improvement.
Common feedback we hear from webmasters is that you want us to improve the freshness of the data in Webmaster Tools. Understood.
We’ve increased the update frequency for your verified sites’ data, such as crawl, index, and search query stats. Much of this data depends on the content of your site. If your content doesn’t change very often, or if you’re not getting new links to your site, you may not see updates to your data every time you sign in to Webmaster Tools.
Please continue to post your Suggestions & feature requests in the Webmaster Help Group. It’s one of our most important sources of feedback from the webmaster community. We seriously take it seriously.
