How To Get 10% Back Using Amazon Attribution

Published on Jul 27, 2022
Amazon Attribution is a set of analytics provided that helps you understand how traffic is driven to your Amazon listings. 

This is key in helping Amazon sellers decide where to spend their advertising dollars.

An ‘attribution’ means they are attributing a metric of data to traffic driven off-Amazon, such as from social media pages or other online advertisements. 

This traffic is attributed by using Amazon’s Affiliate and Attribution links.

In this blog post, we’ll explore the basics of attribution metrics and how to implement them in your Amazon strategy. Straight Up Growth can help you set this up and optimize your Amazon listings! Learn more below:
