05 Common Mistakes to Avoid
in Amazon PPC Advertising
However, many sellers make several common mistakes that can lead to inefficiency and increased costs:
Lack of Keyword Research:
One of the most significant mistakes is not spending enough time on keyword research. Sellers often use too broad or irrelevant keywords that drive up costs without targeting potential customers effectively..
Ignoring Negative Keywords:
Failing to use negative keywords allows ads to show up in unrelated searches, wasting budget on clicks that will not convert into sales.
Not Utilizing Different Ad Types:
Amazon offers various ad types, including Sponsored Products, Sponsored Brands, and Sponsored Display. Each type serves different purposes and not using them appropriately can lead to missed opportunities.
Poor Budget Management:
Setting the same daily budget for all campaigns or not adjusting budgets based on performance can result in unspent potential or excessive spending without adequate returns.
Not monitoring the Advertising Cost of Sale (ACoS) can lead to campaigns running at a loss. A profitable ACoS varies per product and must be optimized according to the seller’s margin.
Many sellers do not analyze performance data adequately. Regular review of metrics such as click-through rate (CTR), conversion rate, and cost per click (CPC) is essential to understand what’s working and what’s not.
