What is Amazon Product Ads?What is Amazon Product Ads?

Amazon Product Ads is a CPC advertising program that drives traffic to your website from Amazon.com. Customers click through to your website and purchase directly from you. You pay only when a customer clicks on your ads.

Selling on Amazon is a CPA program in which your products are sold on Amazon.com. Customers purchase your product in their Amazon.com shopping cart and Amazon provides you with the order information for fulfillment. You pay an average 15% of the product price as a referral fee.

Merchants can combine Amazon Product Ads with Selling on Amazon to list 100% of their product selection with Amazon.com!
