As Amazon continues to grow and innovate, they are testing new things. They are trying new things on a consistent basis and it is only getting better and better. Now, in their mobile site, they are adding some video ads to their mobile search results. This allows for things like and cookies and more advertising to be implemented on the mobile level. This is huge because now, so many people are using mobile phones on a daily basis.
