Flash News: Amazon Plans To Take On Google Adwords

By Omar Rashad


Amazon and Google are kind of adversaries when it comes to online marketing. They have been having a tenuous relationship for a long period of time now. The companies are competing head-to-head when it comes to online product search and delivery services of phones and other mobile devices. But, still Amazon is considered to be one of the largest text-ad advertisers of Google. Amazon also gets a share of revenue by running Google AdSense ads on its site.



Amazon is one of those big names, and they plan on butting heads with Google when it comes to taking a piece of the pie. They already have affiliate marketing ads helping out bloggers and other online Internet marketers. However, their new Sponsored Links is very similar to what Google Adwords brings to the online world.

It makes a statement for sure, but can they actually overtake Google? It has many people wondering, and it does truly show innovation on the side of Amazon as a company. The idea here is that even if Google still takes the most out of the pie, Amazon is challenging them for a part of this type of business.

A wide range of advertisers will benefit from this wealth of information that Amazon possesses. The new platform is going to be simple and not in anyway over-sophisticated as per the current hints. It will include the bare minimum functionality in anticipation of gradual improvements over time.

Even though digital marketing experts predict that Amazon's existing ad business will bring in at least $1 billion in 2014, up from $700 million in 2013, it is still a paltry figure compared to Google's market share right now. But Amazon can improve these figures in the very near future with its treasure trove of customer data.

Is Amazon going to outperform Google in the online advertising sphere? This is what was exactly reported in the Wall Street Journal report released recently. As per the Wall Street Journal report, Amazon is currently testing a new ad platform similar to Google's AdWords platform. This program is named as "Amazon Sponsored Links", which will show ads based on search queries similar to the AdWords product of Google.
