New traffic entrance for search page is born, Amazon updates advertising function

With the peak season approaching, Amazon has secretly updated many features. Recently, a seller shared in the group that their advertising backend has been updated.



Before this, many sellers knew that the "top of the search results (first place)" and "product page" can be set with premiums separately, but the rest of the search results cannot be set.


But now the percentage can be set for the rest of the search results.


What are the rest of the search results?



After we search for a product, several pages of search results usually appear. Apart from the homepage (that is, the first page), the remaining 2.3.4.5... pages belong to the rest of the search results.


Most sellers want their ads to be displayed at the top of the list as much as possible. Because when Amazon buys ads, it actually buys the exposure and clicks corresponding to the ad slot. The exposure and click rates of the first ad slot on the homepage are extremely high, which naturally leads to fierce competition.


Many sellers are worried that the advertising costs will rise again after the update, because the increased competition will lead to an increase in advertising costs. Wait? The increase in advertising costs? Wasn’t the advertising cost on the first day of the autumn promotion ridiculously high? ?


"The number of orders has not increased much from usual, but Acos has doubled or tripled."


"The traffic was abnormally high, but I didn't see a single order."


"The bill didn't explode, but my temper did."



Some sellers have discovered that the functional changes of this Amazon ad space were quietly launched before the autumn event. Although the click-through rate of the homepage is higher, the conversion rate of other pages is higher. This is because many users will browse products on multiple pages after searching for products, and rarely return to the homepage to buy again.


Since the conversion rates of other pages are higher, the competition is the most intense, and everyone will burn their "passion and enthusiasm" in this part.


If everyone spends money, what’s the difference between that and no competition? That’s why many sellers jokingly call the new Amazon ad feature “cutting leeks.”


Some sellers also said that this adjustment will also shift the competitive position of sellers. Previously, sellers were attacking or defending the advertising position on the homepage, and the high advertising fees on the homepage made them cry. Now they can shift their positions to attack the advertising positions on the "second page" and "third page".


In general, the benefit of this adjustment is that sellers can accurately adjust the placement of advertisements, but the downside is that their wallets are flat again. It is also very likely to increase the overall bidding for advertisements. Everyone should still reasonably place advertising expenses according to their own needs~

<<:  Sellers please note! These fees will increase during peak season!

>>:  All destroyed! Amazon will ban sales in this category!
