In this post, we discuss them in length.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p><em>(All the following is discussed in context to Sponsored Product Ads)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-are-negative-keywords-in-amazon-ads\"><strong>What Are Negative Keywords in Amazon Ads<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Amazon Negative keywords are similar to Google Ads negative keywords. These keywords help seller&#8217;s not to show their ads on Amazon.  Negative keywords can be created at the campaign or ad group level. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Negative keywords help to: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Target your product to the most relevant searches<\/li><li>Improve click-through and conversion rate<\/li><li>Reduce your advertising cost incurred on unwanted clicks<\/li><li>Boost your ACoS by improved conversion rate<\/li><li>Saves the budget from getting depleted and being allotted for relevant searches<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>To improve your campaign performance, you should associate these negative keywords with the right match type.

With the same name, there is a craft supply store as well. People looking for craft supplies would not be interested in buying clothes. Here negative product targeting will come in handy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Negative product targeting will help to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Prevent you from wasting your advertising money on irrelevant searches<\/li><li>Separate your brand from certain brands which are not your immediate competition or might give your product a poor reputation<\/li><li>Makes sure that your ads do not appear on those product pages which might outperform your product<\/li><li>Boost your CTR, conversion rates and ACoS<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>At times, it might become challenging to find negative product targets but not anymore!
