Does anyone know who to get google to crawl your site faster?

Debbie, Aside from throwing tons of money at them I really haven't a clue either but I have had increased traffic by doing a search for "free search engine submission". It's amazing how many engines are out there and I figure if enough of them carry my site Google will notice it.

Not sure either.  I hope more people respond to your post because I would be interested in this subject also.

I think the bots crawl when they crawl, but my understanding is that time is the key.  If Google, or the other SE's, recognize that your site and blogs are here to stay, and have unique content, and you have regular and different information, it begins ranking them quicker.

You can be recognized as an "expert" by having a post out there about certain topics before anyone else.   When that happens, I also understand, (no expert here either) the bots are quicker to see new content.

Debbie, 

There is software you can use to spread the website out to other sites that Google will pick up. Two of those are http://pingoat.com and http://pingomatic.com.   I have used the first one.  

Do I understand that you are actually creating an identical page with the exception of the city? If this is the case, you are more likely not to be found since it will not be considered as relevant by the search engines. There are a couple of things you can do to accomplish what I think you are after without spending all of the time and money you are putting into it right now.

There are other questions I will have but the first one is - Do you own your site? OR Do you have the ability to change it without cost?

Age is always a factor, so if you have a new web site, it might take some time before Google recognizes that it is here to stay. That’s why you never want to give up a domain name that has been around for many years.
