Amazon Takes Too Much From Us: The Sequel. What Percent of Your Sales Comes from Ads?
As for November: 55% from Ads; 45% from Organic.
As for up to current December: 61% from Ads; 39% from Organic.
It did not used to be like this. If this doesn't show you the direction Amazon is moving, I don't know what does. The pendulum strongly swings directly into Amazon's pocket. On top of that, Ad costs have gone up and ACOS has gone down. I mean it makes sense, the platform is OVERLY littered with ads everywhere. Ads never used to make up more than 50% of our sales. In order to make a "good" amount of sales, we HAVE to run ads. And now, with doing this, we're paying Amazon an upwards of sometimes 60 to 70%. They're effectively making it harder to makes sales organically. Pay to Play but also looooooose a bunch.
Amazon is what....a trillion dollar company now?? How in the F can a trillion dollar company justify taking 50....60...70% from it's teeny tiny hard as# working sellers. Gross corporate grossness.

Hoping others will post their organic sales percent vs ad sales percents?

Amazon is all about the shareholder and making a profit, just like any large corporation. They feel their only responsiblity is to the shareholders. Amazon could care less about it's sellers, well except for the Chinese sellers. Amazon coddles them like they are their spoiled children.
