Takeaways:

• There is a relatively good-sized subset of the American consumer that searches for products on Amazon through Google and their purchase intent is high. External traffic makes part of Amazon’s A 12 algorithm. 
• Using 2 stage URL method to rank for keywords on Amazon is listed as a black hat tactic under the rank manipulation policies. 
• Amazon sees the traffic from an affiliate differently than it sees traffic from a brand attribution. 
• When you do social media promotion through UGC it is crucial to drive traffic through an affiliate like instead of a brand attribution link. So this way it will not affect your conversion rate and your organic rank. 
• When choosing an influencer to promote your product most important factor to look at is their engagement rate.
• Never have less than 45 to 50 days of inventory on Amazon fulfillment centers.

Quote of the Show:I like to less at the number of an influencer’s followers but more at their engagement rate. I like to look for influencers with a good engagement rate. Those with a high number of followers tend to end up with followers that become lurkers. They like to watch the influencer from a distance rather than engage with what they recommend.
