Is cheap a keyword?

[user3657]

I know ⊗⊗⊗⊗, knock off etc are keywords but will cheap bring down a listing? Probably not?

“Cheap” isn’t in the same category as “counterfeit/knockoff/replica,” but it can still hurt you. Amazon sometimes flags wording that implies low quality or misleads customers, and it can also lower conversion because it attracts bargain hunters and complaints. Safer alternatives are “affordable,” “budget-friendly,” “great value,” or “cost-effective.”

It is a keyword, but it's unprofessional.
Avoid.

yobar is right on with the alternative wording vs. use of "cheap"

Yep, I'm inclined to agree.
If the cost is low, the algo will know anyways
