Amazon Omakase Contextual Links
Have you tried Amazon.com aStore? Actually, Amazon.com launched another new product before it — Omakase Links, which creates Amazon product links based on your contents. Omakase is the Japanese word meaning “entrust” or “protect”.
Amazon.com Omakase Links setup is very flexible
Creating Omakase Links is very easy. The setup panel is very flexible and easy to use. One of the template style that does not find in other Amazon.com associate banners is that you can hide Amazon.com logo in the Omakase ad, which I believe will greatly increase click through rate(CTR).
Can I use Omakase links with AdSense?
Amazon.com does not mind you use Omakase Links with other advertisements such as Google AdSense. However, Google AdSense team told me that Omakase links is not permit to display on the same page as AdSense ads. So, we cannot use Omakase links with Google AdSense ads.
Other websites say Omakase links is allowed with AdSense ads? You might get the information from other websites that Omakase Links are allowed with AdSense ads. Google AdSense team does not seeem to have a single decision about Omakase Links.
I still do not think you should take the risk. When AdSense has two different answers, take the “No” as your answer. Or, write an email to Google AdSense team to get your answer. Remember, “Better safe than sorry”.
Omakase Links is not relevant?
I read somewhere where Amazon.com associates complain that Omakase Links are not relevant to the content, eventhough they are contextual links.
