It’s not spam, and it’s not widget insertion. LOL! I am a seller, nyteez, on Amazon, I do not know how a search for “coupon” would show one of my items in the search, as “coupon” has no relevance to my lingerie ads. This is just a glitch in Amazon’s search. There is no spamming, widget insertion conspiracy going on.

Leg Avenue still comes up but I don’t see any of the others. Interesting post anyways. Have you figured out why/how it works

Nice, I visit a bargain hunting site and I’m spammed with lingerie!

In that case everyone is obsessed with “Leg Avenue” because other people I asked see the same results on their PC’s ;-)
In your case, try clearing Amazon cookies in your browser so Amazon forgets what you purchased before

Not spam. These are products related to your last visits and searches at Amazon. Kinda reminds you about things you were interested

I’m seeing Lonnie Liston Smith CDs on the widget above.

Another way to spam Amazon search results is to keep creating new companies selling the same products as your original company. When someone searches for a query that your product is highly relevant for, you dominate the search result pages, as no one else’s products can squeeze into the now-crowded page. A company I used to work for did this flagrantly with thousands of products (sometimes 20 – 30 duplicates of a product) and in over a year never received any kind of reprimand or warning.

Try refreshing the page and/or clearing Amazon cookies. If you bought from Amazon before they might feed items relevant to your previous purchases. In the widget embedded with this post I currently see these products:

Hi
In widgets I did not see the same product listings. Those products in widgets looks context based.
