Decrease time between google crawls?

[craptakular]

My blog is 3 months old but the last 3 weeks has seen blog postings go from 5 a week to around 20-30 posts.

We have got 5-6 quality backlinks in the last 3 weeks, but only seen one on backwatch checker that we got around 5-6 weeks ago, so we don't think they have registered yet.

We have submitted on DMOZ.org, setup google webmaster and submitted our sitemap.xml this week.

We got crawled twice last week which is a lot better than the 2 week gap we had before getting more links and ramping up content.

What else can we do? Where do you guys get links? What are popular blogs? Do we need to only post on related blogs?

How long does it typically take to achieve a crawl every day or every other day?

How many links do we typically need to get?

When google does crawl our site the blog posts are usually on page one, sometimes two... it just doesn't crawl enough

Interesting, I'll read it properly tomorrow.

We have got 5-6 backlinks but only the first one we got weeks ago has registered on backlinkcheck, we have been looking at our top competitor sites and gone for some of the same sites to get a backlink.

Our twitter now has 14 followers and 97 tweets on it...

I have also just added more ping services to our wordpress site, I have added the google blogsearch one so hopefully it will come when it gets all our pings.

I think we are going to wait a month on the backlinks to see the ones we got register and see if google crawls us more, then in March go get more links.

Does this sound wise?
