What Are Newegg Sponsored Ads?
Newegg Sponsored Ads are paid, on-site advertising placements that allow sellers to promote their products directly to shoppers on Newegg.com. These ads operate primarily on a cost-per-click (CPC) model, meaning you only pay when a shopper clicks on your ad.
With flexible targeting and bidding controls, Sponsored Ads give sellers direct influence over how visible their products are across Newegg’s marketplace. All campaigns are created and managed through the Newegg Seller Portal, where sellers can monitor performance and optimize spend.
