Google isn't guaranteed to index all of your pages.
But you can encourage it to index more with a couple of steps. Have you tried submitting your sitemap?

I am new to crawling and would like to know whether it's possible to use Scrapy to crawl a site, like CNBC.com, incrementally? For example, if today I crawled all pages from a site, then from tomorrow I only want to collect pages that are newly posted to this site, to avoid crawling all the old pages.
Thank you for any info. or input on this.
Yes you can and it's actually quite easy. Every news website has a few very important index pages like the homepage and the categories (eg politics, entertainment etc.) There is no article that doesn't go through these pages for at least a few minutes. Scan those pages every minute or so and save just the links. Then do a diff with what you already have in your databases and a few times a day issue a crawl to scrape all the missing links. Very standard practice.
Please try the scrapy plugin scrapy-deltafetch , which would make your life easier.
Short answer: no.
Longer answer: What you could do is write the article id or the article url to a file and during the scraping, you would match the id or url with the records in the file.
Remember to load your file only once and assign it to a variable. Don't load it during your iteration when scraping.

It will take some time to index your pages.

Recently my site got hacked and it has been restored. Thousands of spam URLs were indexed by google. I do have a google webmaster account and I can update and submit my sitemap. But how do I tell google to strictly only index the URLs inside my sitemap? I want to prevent any new spam urls created by hackers from being indexed.
Any parameter inside the sitemap.xml that I can use to do this?
Your sitemap should only include the new URLs and google will crawl and index only them.
If you have removed the old spammed URLs and they are in 404(not found) status, Google will remove them from the index (albeit quite slowly, it could take even 1-2 months).
If you need to remove those URLs from being displayed in the index there's a section about it the webmaster guide: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/1663419?hl=en
I have made changes to my website's keywords, description, and title, but Google is not indexing the new keyword. Instead, I have found that Google is indexing the older one.
How can I get Google to index my site using the new keywords that I have added?
Periods between crawling a page vary a lot across pages. A post to SO will be crawled and indexed by Google in seconds. Your personal page that hasn't changed content in 20 years might not even be crawled as much as once a year.
Submitting a sitemap to the webmaster tools will likely re-crawl your website to validate your sitemap. You could use this to speed up the re-crawling.
However, as #Charles noted, the keywords meta-tag is mostly ignored by Google. So it sounds like you're wasting your time.
I've submitted sitemap.xml files to google webmaster tools and it says that i has all of the page in total but under "indexed" it says "--"? How long does it take for Google to start indexing? This was a couple of days ago.
A Sitemap is a way for webmasters to help Search Engines to easily discover more pages from their websites. A Sitemap should be considered an aid, not a duty. Even if you submit a Sitemap there's no guarantee that the URLs listed in the Sitemap will be read or included in Search Engine indexes.
Usually it takes from a few hours to some day to be indexed.
Quotes from a Google source
"We don't guarantee that we'll crawl
or index all of your URLs. For
example, we won't crawl or index image
URLs contained in your Sitemap.
However, we use the data in your
Sitemap to learn about your site's
structure, which will allow us to
improve our crawler schedule and do a
better job crawling your site in the
future. In most cases, webmasters will
benefit from Sitemap submission, and
in no case will you be penalized for
it."

It usually takes up to two weeks to be indexed. Just give it some time :)
In short: it depends.
If your website is new, Google will have to crawl and index it first. This can take time and depends on many factors (see the Google FAQs on indexing).
If the website is not new, it's possible that you are submitting URLs in the Sitemap file which do not match the URLs that were crawled and indexed. In this case, the indexed URL count is usually not zero, but this could theoretically be the case if the URLs in the Sitemap file are drastically wrong (eg with session-ids).
Finally, if you are submitting a non-web Sitemap file (eg for Google Video or Google News), it's normal for the indexed URL count to be zero: the count only applies for URLs within the normal web-search results.
Without knowing the URL of the Sitemap file it's impossible to say for sure which of the above applies.
