Hello,

I am new on google datacenter :

First question is a data center a place where google process your website and then dispatches it to search results ?

Then how long does it take for google to update their datacenter ? and could that fact that I don't appear in a certain country for a my keyword be because the country data center hasn't been updated yet ?

Meaning I appear in Europe for a keyword because google has updated their European data center but don't appear in the usa because google hasn't updated their datacenter ?

Thank you,

tedster

It doesn't work quite like that. Each datacenter has all the data and Google does not dedicate a datacenter to each country. The work of tailoring the data into geo-located results can be done from any version of the dataset.

The datacenters are not all in sync, that is they don't all have exactly the same website data or the same version of the algo. Also they are not all used for live results. Some are used for experimental versions of the algo, for example.
