I have noticed that ads are placed on the Amazon site and I think we can do some target advertising on their site. I heard that Amazon was going to bring their advertising in house and I could not find out where on Google(who I think their current provider is) where I could do targeted campaigns on Google. Can anyone provide any suggestions?

I was wondering the same thing. With the purchase of Alexa and other related sites they are moving into Googles space but I have not heard anything definitive about Amazon starting their own advertising.

Here is a copy of an article excerpt that I thought you may find interesting:

Amazon Search Finds Microsoft
Dropping of Google Means Landmark Gain for Software Giant

Tuesday, May 2, 2006; Page D05

Amazon.com Inc. said yesterday that it has dropped Google Inc. as the provider of search engine results on its Web site in favor of one powered by Microsoft, a move that signals a small rebellion against Google but a large gain for Microsoft.

Thanks for the copy of the article that was helpful

I am hoping Amazon competes directly with Google. If they do it may drive down PPC costs.

Has anyone ever tried advertising with Amazon? What has your experience been?

They are just in pilot mode so it maybe difficult to find someone who has advertised on them.
