Der Amazon Best Seller Rang, oder auch BSR ist eine wichtige Kennzahl in der Marketingdisziplin Amazon SEO. Hierbei ist zu beachten, dass dieser nicht nur für Private Labeler eine große Rolle, etwa bei der Produktrecherche spielt, sondern auch für Händler mit bereits gelisteten Produkten nicht unwichtig sein sollte.

Amazon product images
Product images in e-commerce
The problem with which every online shop, every marketplace and of course Amazon, as one of the largest marketplaces in the world, has to deal, is how to compensate for the lack of haptics in purchasing decisions.
In retail, a potential customer can not only perceive a product through visual stimuli, i.e. through its appearance, but can also include any haptic stimuli in the purchase decision. We do this, for example, when we try on a jacket in a store. The decisive factor then is not only how the jacket worked on the mannequin, but also how it works on ourselves, feels and sometimes even smells. Only when all these impressions are right do we decide to buy.
All these steps of the buying process are eliminated in e-commerce. The user can only determine whether he buys a certain product or not on the basis of product images and a product description. Continue reading →
Amazon Product Title
Product Title Basics
First of all, we will take a closer look at the length of the product title. In Germany, 500 characters are available for the product title on the amazon.de marketplace. This is quite a lot compared to Google and Co, where SEOs are familiar with title lengths of 80 characters. Amazon therefore offers its dealers a lot of space to describe the products in the title as precisely as possible, or to equip them with the right set of keywords.
But be careful! The American marketplace has already seen the first changes in this respect, with the maximum length of the product title being limited to 200 characters. This is not yet the case on the German marketplace, but the past has shown that Amazon likes to test changes first on the American marketplace and then later also on the other marketplaces. For this reason, it is recommended to reduce the title length to 200 characters, as it is to be expected that Amazon will soon punish longer product titles on amazon.de as well. Continue reading →

Das Problem womit sich jeder online Shop, jeder Marktplatz und somit natürlich auch Amazon, als einer der größten Marktplätze der Welt, beschäftigen muss, ist wie das Fehlen der Haptik bei Kaufentscheidungen kompensiert wird.
Im Einzelhandel kann ein potenzieller Kunde nicht nur über visuelle Reize, also über die Optik ein Produkt wahrnehmen, sondern in die Kaufentscheidung auch jegliche haptische Reize mit einbeziehen. Dies tun wir beispielsweise, wenn wir eine Jacke in einem Geschäft anprobieren. Entscheidend ist dann nicht nur, wie die Jacke an der Schaufensterpuppe gewirkt hat, sondern wie sie an uns selbst wirkt, sich anfühlt und teilweise sogar wie sie riecht. Erst wenn all diese Eindrücke stimmen, entscheiden wir uns zum Kauf.
Amazon Produkttitel
Produkt Titel Grundlagen:
Zunächst einmal werden wir uns näher mit der Länge des Produkttitels beschäftigen. In Deutschland stehen dir als Händler auf dem amazon.de Marktplatz 500 Zeichen für den Produkttitel zur Verfügung. Das ist eine ganze Menge verglichen mit Google und Co, bei denen SEOs mit Titellängen von 80 Zeichen vertraut sind. Amazon bietet seinen Händlern also eine Menge Platz um die Produkte bereits im Title genauestens zu beschreiben, beziehungsweise, diese mit dem richtigen Satz an Keywords auszustatten.

First steps using the sellytics DATA API
Important: This article refers to sellytics DATA API. This API uses different grant_type(s) than the other sellytics APIs and you need special scopes and resource rights to use this api. If you’re interested to get such an API access or extend your existing API access just contact us.

We follow the OAuth2 specification and RFC6749 so the POST request to get your JWT Bearer access token should look like this one:
curl -X "POST" "https://auth.sellytics.com/uaa/oauth/token" \
