I think indexing has not been slow down, maybe with the tests and implementation of new algorithms and new features on their next gen algo affects somewhat the results.
I spotted the slow indexing, added 10 pages week ago and still no one has been indexed. Google really becomes slow.
Yes it is a bit slower, may be due to lots of testing and new stuff going on like, Caffeine implementation and new personalized search results etc.
my new posts are being indexed quick as far i experienced till now. however, i have some previous articles not being indexed, looking forward to do something with them..
google never shows all backlinks..there is no tool on the market that can do that..its never accurate
I get such complain from some blogger, I think this is because of google is changing the ranking system.
I have also noticed its slower on low PR sites. High PR sites are indexing within a few hours. Tried submitting a sitemap through Google Webmaster Tools for lower PR sites. No luck. Will just have to wait.
