<p>Tags, likes and discussions help greatly. As do a reasonable number of good reviews (at least 6).</p>
<p>Sales seem to be the prime driver though - a steady stream more effective than a clump.</p>

But to further answer your question, yes sales of any size will raise your rankings for a period of time. Then when your sales slow down your rankings fall again to mid level. Its a see saw effect. Up and down, up and down.

<p>Ah, it's full of anamolies I think. I wrote a book on spirituality and art (I mentor artists) which somehow has been classified as 'religious art' (hate the very thought of that) and is at #2 on the Kindle List!</p>
<p>I'm gobsmacked, but also kind of underwhelmed!</p>

On Sept 9 my ranking shot back up 300,000 points. It dropped back down after 4 days and then shot back up close to the same ranking I had on Sept. 9. but Amazon said I had no sales. They emailed me and said that the ranking is also based on how other peoples books are selling. So if I didn't sell any books on the 9th and the 13th and my ranking went up 300,000 points I guess that means more people didn't sell as much as my book didn't sell those 2 days. That doesn't sound right to me. Has…

<p>UPDATE on ranking on Amazon Kindle,</p>
<p>Once I hit 82,000 I would drop 8,000 to 15,000 points a day. On September 6 my ranking shot up again from around 400,000 back up to 71,000. The last 4 days I've been sliding back towards that 500,000 mark. Amazon recalculates its sales on Friday. They haven't shown that I've sold a kindle book but they also are only putting up the results before 09/06. I think it will get to my book recalcutating on Sunday or Monday. </p>

That's interesting, Matt. I've been watching your thread wondering if you'd had any more insights on that. Thanks for the nugget of information! :)

I think I figured out Amazon's ranking a bit more. My ranking jumped from over 500,000 to 82,000 because I sold 1 book. That tells me that from 82,000 and up are not selling books day to day. I wonder how many books you have to sell a day to get under 50,000 Amazon ranking?
