Amazon PPC ranking campaigns don't work by brute spend alone—conversion, reviews and sales velocity decide the winner.

In this deep-dive tutorial we show you exactly how to set up a single-keyword Amazon PPC campaign, dial in bids and placements, and turbo-charge your Best Seller Rank. You'll learn:

• Why keyword spend ≠ keyword rank, and what Amazon's algorithm really rewards.
• How to isolate high-volume search terms like "amazon ppc campaign" and "amazon keyword ranking".
• The data-driven way to raise conversion rate and slash wasted ad spend.
• When to ignore ACoS ceilings (and when you absolutely shouldn't)
• Pro tips for sustaining sales momentum with external traffic.

Ever wondered if ChatGPT's Sora for Amazon can churn out eye-catching Sponsored Brands videos and slash your creative costs?

In this episode we stress-test Sora's brand-new text-to-video model on five real-world products—an adjustable bed, a blender, sunglasses, a fitness band and a ceiling fan—to see whether AI can finally keep up with the fast-moving world of Amazon PPC.

We upgraded to the pro tier (up to 1080p, 20-second clips) and fed Sora highly detailed cinematographer-style prompts.

The results?

From beds that fold like origami to athletes morphing into jump-scare monsters, Sora's glitches prove it's not ad-ready—yet.

Still, its rapid evolution mirrors the leap we saw with AI image generators earlier this year, and OpenAI says more refinements are on the way.

👉What you'll learn in under 15 minutes

• The exact prompts we used (so you can replicate or improve them).
• Why current Sora clips fail Amazon's Sponsored Brands quality bar.
• Practical takeaways for sellers who want to stay ahead of the AI curve in 2025.

Dynamic UP & DOWN bidding on Amazon PPC can be the difference between bleeding cash and printing profit.

In this centennial episode of That Amazon Ads Podcast, Brett Messieh shows exactly when to flip Dynamic UP & DOWN bidding on Amazon PPC to crush ACoS and explode sales velocity. 🏆

Stuck wondering why your bids jump but conversions don't?

You're not alone.

Brett dives deep into real-world data from seven-figure mattress listings, revealing how the "up & down" algorithm responds to buyer intent signals, and how sellers can turn that reaction into outrageously low 1-2% ACoS wins.

Along the way, you'll learn:

• How to stack Best Deals and Lightning Deals for a one-two punch that triggers mattress-size purchases.

• Why "owning the digital real estate" with Sponsored Display (30% of Brett's budget!) fuels cheap impressions that competitors ignore.

•The hidden downside of dynamic bids, unconverted spend that snowballs beneath headline metrics, and the audit workflow Brett uses to stop the bleed.

• Hard truths on black-box AI bidding tools vs transparent platforms like AdLabs.

Whether you're hunting for Amazon PPC bidding strategies, polishing your first Amazon PPC tutorial, or looking to future-proof campaigns for 2025, this conversation arms you with tactics you can deploy before the next refresh.

Amazon is quietly sending Sponsored Products ads to other websites.

These off-site placements crush performance: conversion rates collapse, ACoS jumps to around 80%, and most of the spend never shows up in your ad console.

Every campaign starts in "Maximize Reach", so you end up paying for clicks you can't track—and you can't fix it in bulk unless you use a tool like AdLabs.

Off-site spend that used to be pocket change now eats 6-7% of some budgets, and no one knows where the ads even appear.

Andrew and Stephen switched their campaigns to "Minimize Spend", but early data says the bleed continues, so they'll keep digging and share updates on the podcast.

Amazon PPC management demands a seamless blend of science and art: formulas handle the math (bids, day-parting, placement adjustments) while human judgment steers campaign structure, date-range choice, bid-change limits, and target ACoS.

Effective managers flex their look-back windows—using longer ranges for routine, data-rich optimizations and shorter ones to stop sudden performance anomalies—and vary bid limits and ACoS targets according to product life-cycle, competition, and profit goals.

Beyond the numbers, they continually troubleshoot drops in traffic or conversion by probing listing changes, search-volume shifts, budget caps, keyword mix, stock levels, and competitor moves, then craft strategies such as new keyword harvesting or campaign restructuring.

Because automated tools can’t weigh these broader business and market signals, the real edge comes from a PPC strategist’s ability to interpret data, adapt inputs on the fly, and balance risk with growth.
