Techniques to drive traffic to Amazon listings

Hey all, new member been lurking a while. I'm trying to figure out ways to drive off site traffic to my Amazon items. I just launched my store with a couple private label items and the on site ad campaigns are bogus. I have had limited success with spamming YouTube comments and the cusyomer review sections of major websites for competitive products. Also adding the limit of followers for Pinterest and Tumblr everyday, I have links embedded throughout both accounts.

I'm thinking most of this is probably being reported/removed or the YouTube comments are getting burried quickly. I started using shortened URLs, not sure if it really matters. Was thinking about Facebook ads but I have no experience with it at all

I'm very new to this so was just hoping for some perspective from people that actually understand how it works and what the best course of action may be.

SEO your amazon listing or create a site and rank it to drive traffic, like prelander. You can also use churn burn technique with parasites. or Simply go with paid traffic.

you must Optimization your listing with SEO , look for the top rated items in your niche and learn the description and the title they use to rank there items also use reviews .
