What are Amazon Native Shopping Ads & how do they work?

There is not much difference between AdSense Ads and Amazon Native Shopping Ads because both are contextual ads means shows ads based on Keywords.

Amazon Native Shopping Ads are shown relevant ads based on keywords used in the article. In which page you placed the ad code, it automatically scans the text content of the page and displays content matching ads like AdSense.

AdSense pays per click but it makes you money only on actual sales of Amazon products. It also give you money if someone buys the product except you recommended but the buyer must go to Amazon's site through your site ads (Amazon Native Shopping Ads). You get 4% - 8% commission for successfully sold products. Let's count your commission if someone buys any product worth $50
4% of $50 = $2
If you sold products worth $500
4% of $500 = $20

Currently there are three variants of Amazon native Ads -

Recommendation Ads: Ads shown by Amazon automatically by scanning your page content. These ads shows products based on keywords.
Search Ads: Ads are shown on searching a product name or phrase.
Custom Ads: Allows the publisher to collect custom products from Amazon.com those are to be promoted.
These Ads are responsive size means it will work same with all screen sizes.

It has a critical limitation that Native ads are available for Amazon USA program only. So, you can use geo-targeted ad server such as DPF to serve up your native ads.
