Bought something on Amazon, confirmation screen gave me an ad from Amazon Local for limo service to the airport!
First time I have heard of Amazon Local.
http://local.amazon.com/
They have an app for iOS and Android, plus email subscriptions. Selected US cities. Sort of a Marketplace for local goods and services.
Anyone used it?
I know people that work for them.
Real enough.
It's showing up here on checkout but the ad is for a resort a couple hundred miles away.
Their targeting is shit, considering they know exactly where I live and what I have bought off of amazon. Defies belief.
For rural areas like where I live, I suspect they don't have anyone buying ads so nothing to show except a regionalized run-of-network.
I think they are only in major cities in US, so you just get ads from nearest metro area. Interesting to see if hey are just playing around or if they get serious about this.
