Imagine having 44 ASINs sending traffic nowhere...
A supplement brand upgraded its full line while keeping the same formulations, just in a more convenient format. They launched new ASINs, kept the old ones active, and did not want to lose the organic traffic they had spent years building on the original listings.
What most would do in this situation is to assume the catalog will eventually sort itself out, customers will find the new version, and the old listing will eventually get out of stock.
The catalog does not work that way because when a new ASIN goes live, the old one still keeps its metrics.
It keeps ranking, receiving traffic, and converting customers who have no idea a newer version exists since the detail page shows nothing because Amazon made no connection between the two ASINs because no one asked it to.
With this being said, the gap in these cases exists at the relationship layer, which sits beneath the visible interface most sellers interact with every day.
And Amazon does have a tool for this, and when used correctly, it adds a visible module on the old detail page, pointing customers directly to the upgraded ASIN, so the old listing stays live, nothing gets merged, basically, the connection is made explicit.
The principle you have to keep in mind: when two ASINs share a logical connection, that connection requires a deliberate submission.
If you have version updates sitting in your catalog with no relationship linking old to new, that gap is active right now.
So if you want to learn how to save your time and get your listing performance to the newer version of your product, check out the full case, including the submission sequence, the eligibility criteria, and the exact tool used, is in OSS Lab.

♻️ Repost this, if you know someone managing a catalog with version updates. Might save them months of lost traffic.
