Unlike Sponsored Ads, Amazon DSP offers the flexibility to run campaigns that guide users to either Amazon or non-Amazon destinations.

If you’re guiding users to an Amazon destination, like a particular product detail page, you’re executing a link-in campaign. On the other hand, if you’re directing users to a non-Amazon destination, such as your brand’s website, you’re implementing a link-out campaign.

Now, let’s explore each Amazon DSP campaign type in depth:

Link-In Campaigns:

Link-in campaigns can only be used by brands that sell goods or services on the Amazon platform. Advertisers can target the audience based on a wide variety of attributes and drive them to their Amazon product detail pages.

Here is a basic example of how a link-in campaign works:

  1. A customer visits an Amazon product page or a third-party website.

  2. The customer sees an ad for the candy.

  3. The customer clicks on the ad and is taken to the candy brand’s Amazon product page.

Link-Out Campaigns:

Link-out campaigns are designed to drive traffic to external websites. They can be used to promote products that are not available on Amazon or to drive traffic to a brand’s website.

Here is an example of how a link-out campaign works:

  1. A customer is browsing travel accessories on a website.

  2. An ad is shown from a travel agency offering vacation packages or flight deals.

  3. The customer clicks on the ad and is directed to the travel agency’s website to explore and book travel services.

Final Thought on Two Different Types of Amazon DSP Campaigns

In summary, Amazon DSP offers two primary types of Amazon DSP campaigns: link-in campaigns, exclusively for brands selling on Amazon, which direct customers to product pages within the Amazon ecosystem; and link-out campaigns, used when a brand wants to direct traffic to an external website. Link-in campaigns are helpful to promote products sold on Amazon, while link-out campaigns allow advertisers to promote external products or services.
