Strange - I pay actual money for Amazon ads on Kindle, supposedly to show folks who like my genre my novels.
Amazon chooses to show my ad maybe once a week! They prefer to show trash ads I suppose, I don't know. I can't imagine those trash ads pay nearly what I had to bid to even get my ads to start showing up!
(Amazon auctions off impressions, which means you have to pay nearly your whole book margin to play the game. Essentially, they've sucked up every possible penny of online book sales for almost all books in their catalog.)
- A_D_E_P_T 2y agoYeah, I don't get it. Ads are apparently quite expensive if you're a legitimate author -- but there's an ocean of total nonsense ads for books that I can't even find via a regular Amazon.com search. Could it be that they're filler generated by Amazon to make your ads more expensive? What other explanation even makes sense?
