Amazon PPC glossary

Search term report

The search term report lists every search term that triggered your ads, with the clicks, spend and sales for each. It is the most useful report in PPC because it shows what shoppers really typed.

Example

Your report shows “water bottle 32 oz” with 8 clicks and 3 orders, and “plastic water bottle” with 12 clicks and no orders. You keep and promote the first, and block the second with a negative keyword.

Where it matters most: Book 1, The Amazon PPC Clarity Guide, in the chapter “Reading Search Term Reports.”
