The Pareto Principle Applied to Amazon PPC The Pareto Principle, also known as the 80/20 rule, is a fundamental principle that applies to various aspects of business, including Amazon PPC. In essence, this rule states that roughly 80% of your results will come from 20% of your efforts. By identifying and focusing on the top 20% of your products, keywords, and ad campaigns that drive the most sales and conversions, you can significantly improve your PPC performance. Why Sponsored Products Should Be Your Focus Many sellers mistakenly spread themselves thin across all of Amazon's PPC ad formats. However, the Pareto Principle suggests that Sponsored Products ads should be your primary focus. Sponsored Products ads display your listings directly on Amazon product search results pages, putting your products in front of high-intent buyers who are actively searching for products like yours. This targeted approach not only increases your sales and profitability but also boosts your organic ranking by Amazon's A9 algorithm, which rewards products with a strong click-through rate and conversion rate. The 80/20 of the A9 Algorithm Understanding how the A9 algorithm prioritizes product listings is crucial for optimizing your PPC campaigns. The A9 algorithm prioritizes two key metrics: conversion rate and sales velocity. Conversion rate refers to the percentage of visitors to your product listing who make a purchase.
