21. 3. External Marketing (Off-Amazon)
Lead More Customers to Amazon, Generate More Sales
A link on an external page leads to your product on
Amazon. The external site directs users to Amazon,
where they buy the product. Useful landing pages
are a product page, a product selection page, or the
Amazon Brand Store.
In contrast to Google, where the linking leads to a
better ranking in the search results, the link to
Amazon is only useful if it generates more purchases.
22. External Marketing (Off-Amazon)
Off-Amazon advertising also has a
positive impact on the organic ranking
Amazon offers a much larger platform
and farther reach compared to many
online shops. Any additional sales
through external traffic only improves
the ranking and visibility on Amazon.
23. The more a product sells on Amazon, the
better it will rank in organic search results.
The higher ranking increases sales, and you
earn more money, which you can reinvest
into your marketing efforts.
