How to Improve Performance on The Find Merchant Center?
-
I have uploaded 6718 products to The Find merchant center. There is no error in data feed as per dashboard.
I got only 13 visits from The Find in October 2011. [1st October to 13th October]
Is there any specific method to improve performance over The Find Merchant Center?
OR any success story or experiment which help me more to understand about this issue.

The first thing you should take into consideration is that The Find was one of the most penalized sites by Google's Panda update. I manage various eCommerce sites that were seeing a good amount of referral traffic from The Find. Then came Panda and we literally saw over a 98% drop in referral traffic from The Find. Recently we have experience a gradual increase but still way over 75% less traffic.
As for optimizing your products I have two suggestions:
1. Remember to strategically place your most important keywords first in your product title.
2. Looks like The Find is now ALSO looking at Facebook likes and using that to determine search results.
