Episode #69 - "Amazon's New AB Testing for Listing Photos and the Enhanced Product Opportunity Explorer 📸🔍🚀"
In today's episode, we delve deep into Amazon's latest Seller Central updates, including the beta feature that allows full AB testing for listing photos. We also discuss the enhanced Product Opportunity Explorer and its downloadable reports, shedding light on how sellers can harness these features for better results.
Hello everyone, and good morning! I hope you're all doing well. Today's episode of the Amazon Ads Raw podcast may not be daily, but it's packed with crucial updates for Amazon sellers. There's been a whirlwind of activities in my life, so the consistency has taken a hit, but I promise to get back on track soon. For now, let's dive into the key features that have caught my attention. Starting off with a game-changer, Amazon has introduced a beta feature in Seller Central that allows for full A-B testing of listing photos. Previously, sellers could only test the main listing picture, A-plus content, bullet points, and titles. But now, this tool lets you test the primary listing image in conjunction with all other images. The possibilities are vast. You can switch around main and secondary images, determining which combinations yield the best results. However, note that this feature doesn't support videos just yet. I foresee this manual testing potentially giving way to more automated AI-driven processes in the future, much like Google's advertising tools. The next big update comes from the Product Opportunity Explorer. This tool, designed to offer insights into search terms, average prices, search volume, and more, has now integrated a download feature. This allows sellers to download a comprehensive report that includes a slew of metrics: search volume over different periods, click share, search conversion rate, and the top three clicked products. It's an indispensable tool for those looking to fine-tune their campaigns and strategize their advertisements. Remember, before diving into advertising with these keywords, ensure that your listings are indexed. Proper optimization can be the difference between a successful campaign and a missed opportunity. That's it for today's episode! Thank you for tuning in. I'll be back soon with more insights and updates. In the meantime, make the most of these tools and continue to enhance your Amazon selling journey. Catch you in the next episode, and have a fantastic day!

Summary: In episode 99, we debunk the common concern about rising CPCs on Amazon. While the numbers might be increasing, the real story lies in understanding the percentage of CPC relative to your selling price, considering inflation, and the dynamics of the marketplace.
Episode #98 - Amazon's AI Partnership & Mistral AI's Powerful Model 🤖
Summary: This Thursday, we're diving into the world of off-Amazon placements and how they've now become more visible in placement reports for sponsored products. Plus, a fascinating exploration of how algorithms, particularly those used by video platforms, determine content exposure. Description: Good morning to all our Amazon Ads Raw Daily listeners. Today, we'll be shedding light on a recent development that has been making waves in the Amazon Ads space. Starting off, we'll delve into the realm of off-Amazon placements. For those out of the loop, these placements are the new kids on the block, automatically enrolled into sponsor product campaigns in the US. These placements feature on platforms like BuzzFeed, Pinterest, and other content-rich sites under the Amazon content network. Now, advertisers can see how their campaigns are performing on these platforms thanks to the new "Off Amazon" category in placement reports for sponsored products. However, a lingering question is how these placements fare in terms of conversion, considering they might attract an audience with potentially lower purchase intent compared to on-site Amazon visitors. The data is still in its early stages, but indications hint at a rather modest click-through rate. Switching lanes, our focus shifts to the world of algorithms. Almost every platform you can think of, from Amazon to YouTube to TikTok, operates based on these intricate formulas. Ever wondered how certain content gets recommended to you or why some videos go viral while others stay stagnant? It's all thanks to these algorithms. An AI app named Opus Clip has managed to leverage this by transforming longer YouTube videos into bite-sized clips tailored for platforms like TikTok and YouTube Shorts. From personal experience, these algorithms seem to work in stages, gradually pushing content to larger audiences based on engagement levels. Intrigued? Reach out to us with your thoughts or any insights on these topics. As always, your engagement keeps us going. Stay curious and until next time, take care!
Title: Episode #96 - Fresh API Updates and A Glimpse into the New Ad Console Interface 🎧📱 Summary: This Wednesday, join us as we dive deep into the newest updates from Amazon's Ad Console and the Amazon Ads API. Learn about the novel "exports API," its capabilities, the latest model documentation, and Amazon's intriguing new beta for video ad campaigns. Description: Greetings to our dedicated listeners of Amazon Ads Raw! Apologies for missing out on yesterday's episode, but today we’re back with some noteworthy updates from Amazon's world. Firstly, we discuss the latest API addition, the "exports API." This unique API in the Amazon Ads universe provides a snapshot of your setup, offering a one-time export of your metadata and the present state of all setups. Contrasting with the historical data access, this API focuses on the metadata. Notably, it currently delivers only campaign and ad group level details, but there's ongoing work for targeting and ad specifications. An additional feature to note is the new documentation for common models, shedding light on campaign statuses, ad group statuses, and more. Switching gears to the Ad Console, we highlight an exciting find – a new beta feature related to video ads. Positioned under the campaign creation section, this beta guides users in creating video campaigns for sponsored brands and sponsored display. What’s interesting is the simplified process it offers, particularly catering to advertisers less familiar with the intricacies of Amazon Ads. With just a few clicks, choose a strategy, select a product, decide on targeting, and you're good to go! Despite these new introductions, a pressing concern is Amazon's motivation behind these features. While simplicity and user experience are paramount, the growing feeling is that Amazon's primary focus might be on driving more advertising revenue rather than genuinely enhancing user experience. Thank you for joining us today. If you're an advertiser, stay curious, test these new features, and always strive for better insights. Until next time, take care!
