Amazon sponsored ads work on the PPC model. It is keyword-target display ads for different individual products which appear on search results and the product detail pages.
The best part about this is that you can find keywords that have low conversion rates and can flag them negatively. This will ensure that your ads won’t be shown when someone types in that specific keyword. This way you won’t spend money on low conversion rates.

• Branded product keywords: the combination of your brand name and the product you sell
• Complementary product keywords: a bundle of two individual goods that influence the demand for each other i.e., they are complementary to each other.
• Sponsored products automatic targeting keywords: these are search queries you have been successful with while running automatic targeted sponsored product campaigns.
