Search Efforts

Can I pay search engines to crawl my site before xmas?

I recently changed my website and I sell xmas items. Is there a way to get the search engines to crawl my site when it is done. I cannot afford to lose traffic because the site wasn't crawled before xmas. I have no problem paying, but how do i do this?

1. Search engines will crawl your site fast if you have links on popular sites. Here are some ideas: Place an ad for Christmas items on Craigslist and the free ad sites all over the net. Join discussion groups , create a signature that links to your site, reply to a lot of messages with meaningful replies. Pay for a press release at PR Web and get your site on Yahoo, Google News, and more in just a few days. You just need a newsworthy release.
2. A lot of people pay for links relevant to their industry. Many sites with high page ranks sell these links. Google frowns on this practice, but it is very common. Start writing PR releases, posting on seasonal forums, and writing magazine articles. That should help. You should also make sure that your site is chock full of keywords that customers would look for during the holiday season.
