Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

amazon-ads scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Amazon Ads — Pro Playbook

A practitioner's guide to running Amazon Advertising (Sponsored Products, Sponsored Brands, Sponsored Display, and DSP) for sellers and vendors. The mental model throughout: paid ads buy sales velocity → velocity lifts organic rank → organic rank lowers your blended cost of selling. Optimize the system, not the line item.

Authored fresh for SquadCoder. Terminology current to the Amazon Ads console / Amazon Ads API v3.


1. The three (four) ad products — when to use each

Product Inventory Billing Primary job
Sponsored Products (SP) Search results + product detail pages CPC Workhorse. Drives 70–80% of most accounts' ad sales. Capture high-intent shoppers.
Sponsored Brands (SB) Top-of-search banner, brand video, Store spotlight CPC Brand awareness + defend branded search. Requires Brand Registry.
Sponsored Display (SD) On/off-Amazon, detail pages, audiences CPC or vCPM Retargeting, competitor-ASIN conquesting, audience prospecting. Requires Brand Registry.
Amazon DSP Programmatic display/video/audio on & off Amazon CPM Full-funnel audience buying, awareness, advanced retargeting. Self-serve or managed; usually higher min spend.

Start with SP. Add SB once you have a Store + 3+ ASINs. Add SD for retargeting + competitor defense. Graduate to DSP when you need reach/awareness or have a steady budget (often a managed minimum).


2. Account & campaign structure

Keep it simple, granular, and reportable. The dominant pattern:

Single Keyword / Single Product-group Ad Groups (SKAG-lite). One tight theme per ad group so bids and search-term reports are interpretable.

A clean SP architecture per product (or product family):

  1. Auto campaign (discovery). One ad group, all 4 targeting groups on (close match, loose match, complements, substitutes). Job: mine search terms. Low-to-moderate bid.
  2. Manual Broad/Phrase campaign (research). Harvested terms in broad + phrase. Job: keep finding variants.
  3. Manual Exact campaign (performance). Proven converters in exact match. Job: efficiency + scale. Highest bids live here.
  4. Product Targeting / ASIN campaign. Target competitor ASINs, your own (defense), and categories.
  5. Branded campaign. Your own brand terms — cheap, high CR, defends against conquesting. Keep separate so branded sales don't flatter non-brand ACoS.

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
