SIF Keyword Traffic Source Summary
This skill guides you on how to query and analyze keyword traffic source data for Amazon products, helping sellers understand the traffic structure behind keywords — including organic search, Sponsored Products (SP) ads, brand ads, video ads, and various Amazon recommendation placements.
Core Concepts
The SIF Keyword Summary tool returns, for one given keyword, the list of ASINs appearing under that keyword along with their per-keyword traffic exposure breakdown and their product-level cross-channel traffic mix. It answers: Who is taking traffic under this keyword, and through which channels?
Traffic channels analyzed:
- Natural Search — organic search result positions
- SP Ads (Sponsored Products) — paid product ad placements (regular slot)
- Brand Ads (SB) — top and bottom brand ad placements on the search results page
- Video Ads (SBV) — Sponsored Brands Video placements
- SP Recommendation slots — Trending now / Seen on social media / Customers frequently viewed / 4 stars and above
- Amazon's Choice (AC) — Amazon's Choice badge recommendations
- Editorial Recommendations (ER) — editorial/curated recommendation placements
- Top Rated (TR) — high-rating recommendation placements
Two score families (important — do not mix):
- Product-level fields (no prefix, e.g.
naturalSearchExposureScore
): the ASIN's overall exposure across all keywords.
- Keyword-level fields ( prefix, e.g.
keywordNaturalExposureScore
): the ASIN's exposure on just this one queried keyword.

API Usage
This tool calls the LinkFox tool gateway API. See
for calling conventions, request parameters, and response structure. You can also execute
scripts/sif_keyword_traffic.py
directly to run queries.
Usage Examples
1. Basic keyword traffic overview
Query the traffic source breakdown for a keyword in the US marketplace:
searchKeyword: "wireless charger", country: "US"
2. Filter for organic search traffic only
See only ASINs that appear in natural search results for a keyword:
searchKeyword: "wireless charger", country: "US", condition: "nfPosition"
3. Analyze SP ad competition
Find which ASINs are running SP ads for a keyword:
searchKeyword: "wireless charger", country: "US", condition: "isSpAd"
4. SP recommendation slots
Find ASINs surfacing in SP recommendation slots (Trending now, Customers frequently viewed, etc.):
searchKeyword: "wireless charger", country: "US", condition: "acAd"
5. Keyword analysis for a non-US marketplace
Analyze traffic sources in the Japan marketplace (use the local language keyword):
searchKeyword: "ワイヤレス充電器", country: "JP"
6. Focus on specific competitor ASINs
Limit results to a small set of competing ASINs:
searchKeyword: "wireless charger", country: "US", asins: "B01NBNDC1T,B09VLJJPL6"
7. Custom date range
searchKeyword: "wireless charger", country: "US", last7d: false, startDate: "2026-04-05", endDate: "2026-04-11"
8. Rank ASINs by their overall SP exposure
searchKeyword: "wireless charger", country: "US", sortBy: "totalSpSocre", desc: true
9. Newly-entered traffic keywords this period
searchKeyword: "wireless charger", country: "US", condition: "totalPeriod.in"
Display Rules
- Present data clearly: Show query results in well-structured tables. Group data by traffic channel exposure ratios for easy comparison.
- Distinguish product-level vs keyword-level scores: Do not mix
naturalSearchExposureScore
(product-wide) with keywordNaturalExposureScore
(this keyword only). Label columns so users know which scope they are reading.
- Highlight key ratios: When displaying results, emphasize the natural search exposure ratio vs. paid ad exposure ratio to help users quickly assess the organic-to-paid balance.
- Translate field names: Present field names in user-friendly language rather than raw API field names (e.g., "Natural Search Exposure Ratio" instead of "naturalSearchExposureRatio").
- Volume notice: When results are large (high total count), show core data and remind users they can paginate to see more results.
- Period annotation: When comparing exposure/counts, label the resolved window — default ; or if a custom range was set. Also surface on each row.
- Error handling: When a query fails, explain the reason based on the field and suggest adjusting query parameters (e.g., checking keyword spelling or marketplace code).
- Percentage formatting: Display exposure ratios as percentages (e.g., 0.45 as "45%") for readability.
- Traffic source summary: When presenting a single ASIN's data, provide a brief traffic composition summary (e.g., "This product gets 60% of its exposure from organic search, 25% from SP ads, and 15% from brand ads"); prefer keyword-level fields when the user asks specifically about this keyword.
Important Limitations
- Single condition filter: Only one value can be used per request. To compare multiple traffic sources, make separate requests.
- Marketplace coverage: 13 marketplaces only — IN / NL / SE / PL / TR / SG are no longer available.
- Keyword language: The should be in the language of the target marketplace for best results.
- Result cap: Each page returns at most 100 records.
- Scope: This endpoint focuses on per-keyword ASIN traffic; it does not return whole-ASIN metadata, cross-channel keyword counts, or variant aggregation. Use the ASIN traffic-source tool for those.
