How to take advantage of off Amazon traffic (7:53).

It's essential to first dial in your listing, and then dial in your internal placement on Amazon.  Optimize your PPC and your headline search ads. Once your listing is in good shape, then it's time to dive into Google.

Head over to Google and in the search bar type:

Site: 'Amazon.com/(your keyword)' to see if Google has indexed your specific product page. If it has, drive traffic to that link in any way you can to improve your Google search rank position.
