Amazon is offering it's own ad system now, which offers ads on an Cost Per Impression basis. These can be used alongside any other ad network, including Adsense, and when Amazon cannot meet the publishers requested cost, they will pass the ad back to a chosen ad network, according to the pass-back code provided (like an adsense code). This is similar to other pay-per-impression offerings except that it is Amazon. The ads can be ads for Amazon products or ads from other advertisers within Amazon's network. This can be used by any Amazon affiliate. As well, you can use this as your only advertising solution (if you are OK with only CPM ads, and simply use an Amazon affiliate banner or Native Ad for the passback code. As wikidot is interested in offering users other good advertising solutions other than just Adsense (and whatever else has been approved…we do not seem to have a list), Amazon seems a no-brainer. Can we please whitelist the code, to be used within the advertising modules in the site manager and/or placed within html brackets? The ads work as is, but it would be best for the code to be on the page.

Here is an example code for Amazon CPM Ads:

<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript" src="//c.amazon-adsystem.com/aax2/getads.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
//<![CDATA[
aax_getad_mpb({
  "slot_uuid":"d4be8efc-d838-4015-8b05-93251ec13474"
});
//]]>
</script>

As well, Amazon now offers what they call "Native Ads." These are ads that are built by affiliates, and which provide links which pay affiliate commissions if products are purchased, but look and feel more like ads. User can build use them to advertise specific products related to their content (custom ads), or to display products within certain categories or searches. However, for these to work best, the codes needs to be whitelisted so that Amazon can react to potential search terms that are on a content page and display relevant content related to that page. Otherwise, you can set a certain search term to use to display products, but this is limited and tedious, as users then have to create many more ads than they otherwise would have to. Can we also please whitelist the code for Amazon "Native Ads?" As I said, these can be used in conjunction with Amazon CPM ads, so that the CPM passes back to the Native Ad if the cost is not met, something that is useful in itself for those who want to use Amazon as their only ad solution.

Here is an example of the code for Native (affiliate) Ads, for recommendation ads:

<script type="text/javascript">
amzn_assoc_placement = "adunit0";
amzn_assoc_enable_interest_ads = "true";
amzn_assoc_tracking_id = "groupstr-20";
amzn_assoc_ad_mode = "auto";
amzn_assoc_ad_type = "smart";
amzn_assoc_marketplace = "amazon";
amzn_assoc_region = "US";
amzn_assoc_linkid = "e71254650dcc140839df26a8b5f71bc8";
amzn_assoc_emphasize_categories = "1000";
amzn_assoc_fallback_mode = {"type":"search","value":"Cooking"};
amzn_assoc_default_category = "Books";
