I have a question seems stupid and kinda like a duhh question but I still am curious. Would having a Google Data center closer to you physically help any in the crawling of your sites?
Well Google is building a Data center close to where I live and that's why I was asking the only thing I think it might help is speed of the Google apps Gmail, Google docs, etc. and maybe the speed my sites get crawled but over all crawling more, etc. is probably not going to happen or so I assume. Would this be correct?
it won't make any difference. Otherwise all hosting companies would build their datacenters near google datacenters and because of that they would raise the price for hosting )
