Amazon has doubled its backend keyword limit to 500 bytes. This allows for up to 2,500 bytes in the generic keyword field, potentially leading to shorter titles for improved mobile user experience.

Brett Bohannon

Amazon has officially changed the back end Generic Keyword / Search term field from 250 bytes to 500.

Quick breakdown of what I am seeing:

1. In the back end there used to be one line item, now you can include 5 total line items



2. You can add up to 500 characters into EACH line item - I thought initially it would trigger a warning but upon testing it did not trigger any warnings but this is not the case




What this means:

a. You can have up to 2,500 bytes in your back end generic keyword field / search terms

b. I believe this is a move to create shorter titles , as more than 50% of searches are on mobile and Amazon is working to create a better user experience

c. Lets see if this sticks

rad change - but this could cause some new theories around ranking weights for certain parts of your listings.
