      This is partially true.

      OP is asking if he can send traffic to *his* product listing on Amazon. This is allowed. Just make sure you don't add an affiliate link and you are good to go.

      Google "garcinia cambogia" and you'll see an amazon listing 9 times out of 10 being promoted through Adwords.

      I ran a large test for a client using Adwords -> Amazon and Facebook -> Amazon.

      Spent over $10,000 on both

      It's nearly impossible to get profitable / ROI using this strategy because if they don't buy your product immediately, they might buy a competitor (and you get paid nothing), or bounce. Either way, you ONLY get paid if they buy your specific Amazon product. It will however help get some initial purchases and reviews if you have a larger budget.

      The soft sell is the best. Get them interested in your company/product and have them signup for something free (build a list). Build trust, show the value proposition of your product, then sell.
