Webmaster Tools stopped updating my sites
-
On Feb 6th WMT stopped updating the stats for my two main sites. I have seen other people complain about this but it seems like it's not known what causes it or if it's by design.
Does anyone here have any insight on this issue?
Thanks,
Greg Davis

Well, it's back working again and it filled in the missing days. Can't complain about that.

[EDIT - sorry Martijn, for some reason I didn't see your response when I started mine?? Didn't mean to duplicate an already thorough answer.]
This issue is pretty widespread at the moment, Greg. This kind of glitch seems to happen every four or five months (last was end of Sept). There's nothing we can do about it but wait for Google to "get their sh1t back in one sock"
Up until now, once fixed the missing data has been repopulated, so we can keep our fingers crossed again.Sorry couldn't give you a solution, but at least you know there's nothing you need to try to do about it.

Hi Greg,
You're not the only one, Google Webmaster Tools data is a week behind starting last week. There have been multiple reports on this as you can see here: www.seroundtable.com/search-queries-drop-google-18093.html . This happend a couple of times before. Mostly it's related to a bug at GWT and they have to find a way to make the old data available again. I expect the data to be back in a couple of days as that's what happened in the past.

I came to post the exact same thing. Feb 6 2014 was my last update on all 9 of the sites I manage. Any word on whats going on?

Phantom Update?
Hi All, I know this is a long while back but I think we started to lose our organic traffic after the Phantom update back in May 2013. We have two websites, one offering serviced apartments in London only and one website offering serviced apartments across the world. The apartments we feature in London are the same on both sites - although they have different product descriptions, meta data etc. I read that the Phantom update hit websites which were owned by the same company. Do you think we are still being penalised for this? Any thoughts at all would be greatly appreciated ! Thanks, Laura

Site hit by algorthithmic update in October 2014 - filters and thin content queries.
Back in October 2014 last year, a site we are working with had a significant drop in organic traffic. This coincided with Google's algorithmic update. The side in question uses filters extensively and at the time did not have any canonical tags in place. The lions share of these filter pages had little or no written content just products. The website now has canonical tags throughout and content has started to be added to the top level categories and we will continue to add more, however there is still a large amount of pages with little or no content. Webmaster tools shows that there are large amounts of internal links (for instance 42,000+ to the homepage) which must be due to the filtered pages. I am looking for advice on what is the best way to proceed. Do I edit robots.txt, start adding no follow tags or something else entirely?

Linking shallow sites to flagship sites
We have hundreds of domains that we are either doing nothing with, or they are very shallow. We do not have the time to build enough quality content on them since they are ancillary to our flagship sites that are already in need of attention and good content. My question is...should we redirect them to the flagship site? If yes, is it ok to do this from root domain to root domain or should we link the root domain to a matching/similar page (gymfranchises.com to http://www.franchisesolutions.com/health_services_franchise_opportunities.cfm)? Or should we do something different altogether? Since we have many to redirect (if this is the route we go), should we redirect gradually?

Site was infected with spam webmaster tools still reporting it
I have recently been working with a site that was hacked. It suffered from a pharma injection into Joomla. The site has been cleaned for several months, but WMT is still reporting "pharmacy" as occuring 421 times. The url it gives reports a 500 error. I also removed it in Google. Can this still be hurting the site? How can I clean this up?
