Use Amazon Attribution to Track ROI, Cut Losing Ads
Q&A If you are running a single ad for a book in a single country it’s easy to see if it’s performing or not based on the increase in sales/reads. If you are running multiple ads for the same book- using Amazon attribution links helps determine the better performer. I look at ad performances in 7-14day increments. If I’m spending $5 a day on an ad and making $10+ a day on average over those 7-14 days then that’s a solid roi. If I’m not profiting or losing - then it’s time to cull.
