Webmaster Tools external links report

How often is this updated?

The new external/internal link report in Webmaster Tools is great, but it doesn't seem to be updating very often. I have had the same number of IBLs reported since I first checked over a month ago. I have added many new links since then but they aren't reported. Has anyone seen their link count update yet?

When you go into the list, it shows you the "last date found" for each link which gives you a fairly good indication. What you should bear in mind, when older dates appear, is that this is more likley because Google crawls that target site's page less frequently, not because there is a problem.

Actually I was noticing this morning - I don't think a lot of things in Webmaster Tools are being updated these days. I have one site that it claims hasn't seen the home page since 1/26, but the cache dates that I see in the SERPs are from last week. A random check on maybe a third of my 63 sites shows that links haven't changed, last visited dates haven't changed, the queries haven't changed - nada.
