PPC and Amazon Products

Riki Oh · 12-29-2011, 08:35 AM

Has anyone seen great success with PPC for Amazon products? Please tell us about it.

Thanks.

Personally, not that much. The ROI on Amazon products is usually pretty low. So it's easy to spend a lot quickly without earning much.

As stated it would involve a lot of testing to create a profitable campaign as amazons commission is quite low.

Here's how I promote Amazon products with PPC:
1. I use Microsoft Adcenter PPC (It's cheaper than Adwords and convert better)
2. Create a Review Website
3. Lead my website traffic to Amazon

For the Ads, you could write something like: Lot of Real Review from Real People of (Your Product's Name).

I dont see the return is possible via adwords. Unless you found a very low cpc keyword with a high demand 200$+ product, but still the conversions would have to be excellent.

I would advise against.

My 2 cents...

Agreed. For PPC to be effective, you need to have enough of a margin between your CPC and your conversions. If you pay $.25 per click, and your commission on a $200 sale is $12 (6%), you need to make sure you have one sale for every 48 page views just to break even. It's possible, but those keywords need to be extremely targeted for traffic that's ready to buy.

Plus, AdWords doesn't allow affiliate sales as the primary function of your landing page.
