I found that some pages of my site is not being crawled in google webmaster tool from last 30 days. but some gets cowling in 2-3 days every time. is this normal?
And how often google updates Structure data errors in webmaster tool?
Thank you...
That is normal, some aspects can be quick but structured data can take a while.
Also to note, if the code is still broken then it's never going to update.
Have you tested it on Google's structured data testing tool?

This seems to be a common enough problem that there are a lot of entries when one googles for help but nothing has helped me yet.
I am finding that the results provided by the REST API for estimated_steps are wildly different from those that appear in the device app.
I am running a fetch task for users via cron job on a PHP/Laravel app.
I'm using this https://developers.google.com/fit/scenarios/read-daily-step-total - estimated_steps to retrieve the step count.
Some days the data is correct. Some days its wildly different. For instance, on one given day, the REST API gives step count of 5661 while the app shows 11,108. Then there are six seven days when the stream is correct.
Has anyone faced this sort of behavior? I've tested for timezone differences, logged and analyzed the response json to see if i'm making some obvious mistake, but nope.
You may check this How do I get the same step count as the Google Fit app? documentation. Be noted that even when using the right data source, your step count may still be different from that of the Google Fit app.
This could be due to one of the following reasons:
On Wear, the Fit MicroApp when connected will display step counts queried on the phone and transferred over via the Wearable APIs. Other MicroApps accessing local-only data will only get watch steps. We are working on making this easier for developers.
Sometimes the step calculation code for the Google Fit app is updated with bug fixes before we are able to release the fixes to developers (which requires a Google Play Services release). We are also working on making it possible for developers to access fixes at the same time.
The Fit app uses a specific data source for steps and it adds some functionality (which can be seen on the documentation) on top of the default merged steps stream.
You can access the "estimated" steps stream as shown here:
derived:com.google.step_count.delta:com.google.android.gms:estimated_steps
Hope this helps!
It has been a while since I upload all my webpages. Google in fact has indexed them too and my website has started appearing in the Google search results. But still Webmaster tools shows that the data on my site is unstructured. How can I rectify this? I had tested all my web pages with the rich snippets tools provided by Google and the test was successful because Google correctly showed me the extracted data.
The structured data numbers that are reported in Webmaster Tools are rarely correct. In fact, sometimes the numbers are way, way off. So as long as your page contains structured data markup in the code and as long as Google's testing tool is picking it up, you're fine. No need to be overly concerned about it.
I want Google Scholar to detect and consider academic papers on my website. I implemented tags as required in [http://scholar.google.com/intl/en/scholar/inclusion.html], time passed (more than 3 months), and they still ignoring my metadata. I checked over and over, and nothing happens... any ideas on how to check this in a realistic way?
Google says some of they refresh takes more than a year.... it is dumb to wait a year to notice there was a bug... and then again wait for another year...
I have similar problems with Google Scholar. Unfortunately, there isn't much you can do. GS support isn't helpful at all, and indexing can take that much time. Sorry.
I'd like to build site statistics that are a bit more substantial than just google analytics.
(lots more user specific logging, associated with their login, recording of ajax tasks)
Are relational databases ok?
From previous fiddlings I've found that databases seem to get pretty large pretty quick if trying to record lots of site statistics, but that may have been to my bad handling of the database..
Any languages/platforms that should be avoided?
Any good comprehensive site statistics software that should be looked at?
(Tried to look at Piwik, but their site seems to be down.)
Is this a bad idea? :)
I am about to start a new project in the Google Analytics API & PHP.
I read that Google Analytics will be deprecating XML v2.3 and v2.4 and in 6 months time, so aparently you will only be able to use v3 and retrieve information in JSON format.

My question is the following: Does this means that GAPI class won't work any longer? Anyone who has used this class before can help me answering this question ??
http://code.google.com/p/google-api-php-client/
In that case, any alternative suggestions of PHP classes that do the same thing.
Thanks so much
I've been using GAPI for a while now. And I can say with some confidence that yes it will break, if not due to XML it will be due to some other change google makes.
Having said that GAPI is the best solution I have found out there for php. It does break every 6 months to a year, usually needs one or two lines changing to fix. But GAPI is pretty popular so at least you know when your clients are calling saying analytics is throwing errors at them, you wont be the only dev tearing your hair out.
9 times out of 10, by the time I've got a problem someone else has found the fix - which is nice.
There are a few other php options out there but GAPI seems to be the most popular (usually the best way to go imho)
My approach is to build an analytics summary in the dashboard and provide a link to google analytics underneath so clients can see the full data or go there when GAPI breaks. I have been putting all my sites on the same modular system for a while now. I keep GAPI as a library in my admin layout module, this means I can make the fix once and roll it out to all my sites without too much drama.
In summary, use it but expect it to break - that way you wont be disappointed when it does.
