Detailed explanation of the Amazon traffic entrance and how to obtain it

When shopping on Amazon, most consumers choose to enter the keywords of their intended products in the search box. Keyword search traffic accounts for the vast majority of Amazon’s traffic sources. According to official statistics, search traffic accounts for more than 80% of Amazon’s traffic sources. Therefore, keyword natural search traffic accounts for a larger share of search traffic.
