Amazon Product Ads are contextual ads that appear in search results and send shoppers to the retailer's own website to learn more or to purchase the item. Amazon limits the categories in which sellers can advertise. Product Ads uses a pay-per-click pricing model that takes into account the price and category of the advertised product. Advertisers control their total spend by setting the maximum price they are willing to pay for each click as well as their daily budget. More information about the promotion is available on the Amazon Seller blog, and see this EcommerceBytes article for more information about advertising with Amazon Product Ads. |

Sellers who open an Amazon Product Ads account this week will receive a $75 credit. Retailers must receive a valid click by September 30 to receive the credit, and any unused credit will expire on December 31, 2011.
