I noticed that each time I check Google analytics which my store is synced with, there are no visitors coming in through search queries using the search engines. My site has been up for almost 2 years, and no search queries... does anyone else have this same situation? I just checked my Google Cache date for the store, and see the last time the Google bot crawled it, was March 28, almost 2 months ago! Any recommendations on how I can get some search traffic....any search traffic...? thanks so much for your input.

Do your products pages change a lot? That may help, but I don't think google really indexes store pages very much - all my traffic comes from the forum, or my blogs and Squidoo lenses (or other promoters, which you won't see in your stats as a customer will go direct to the product). That's why promotion is so essential.
Making more of your tags and descriptions would help too - you seem to be limiting yourself to more general stock market terms. Describe the design in detail and the colours. Add a product to your blog or website occasionally, or start a new one.

So is there no way to track Google Analytics stats on product pages?

Thanks Steve  What I should have said was, "all the traffic in my stats comes from...". Traffic through the marketplace will show up in your product views per day. I use Statcounter, but it's the same results.

Thanks to everyone that posted a reply, this is helpful. I wasn't sure if it was something I was doing wrong, by not being indexed much in Google. I appreciate the sharing of how to get more traffic, I will definitely work harder in this area, and not feel like Google will do it for me! Thanks guy, I appreciate it!
