Data freshness on Webmaster Tools improved

Webmaster Tools will from now on feature more frequent data updates to ensure data freshness. This is something that has been sought by webmasters for a while. The new update frequency is for verified sites and has to do with crawling, indexing and search query stats.
According to this post on the Webmaster Central Blog, you will only see more frequent updates if your site actually gets new links over time. They are calling for comments and further suggestions, so head on over to the blog and drop them a note.
