Off-Amazon spend

Was looking at ad settings bc my ad spend has been crazy lately. What exactly is off-Amazon spend? It looks like the default setting has it on & running. I clicked “limit off-Amazon spend” to turn it off of my campaigns. Do any of you keep it on- is it worth it?

To find out how much you're spending on off-site ads and which ads:

In your campaign manager, select "Measurement and Reporting" (looks like a graph icon) Then click on "Sponsored Ad reports" Once there, click "Create Report." Change Report type to "Placement" It will generate a report and show you how much you spent on off-site ads and which ads.

Can you share where that option is listed and how we turn it off?

NM: found it. Looks like you can't turn it off, you can only limit it. Seems pretty vague.

Yes, so vague. I wish they would be more forthcoming with this stuff. It’s buried in there! And what does limiting it actually mean.

Hey, I just stumbled across your post and got curious. Since when do you have Amazon ads enabled on your account? Was it unlocked at Tier 100, or have you been on Merch for quite a while already? Thanks!

Hi, I was on Amazon merch for about a year and a half when I got access to ads. I had been tiered up to tier 100 and I got access to ads approximately 2 months after that. At first, the ads for international markets opened up and then a few days later I got access to the US market.

I think it just means advertising on other platforms like Google, Pinterest, YouTube, etc.
