My wife, the beautiful author, Natalie R Collins, has 5 books (actually 8 but the others are under another name) available on Kindle, through Amazon.com. I have been tracking them daily for over a month now. The results are a little difficult to understand.
From what I have been able to discover through research, there are over 1,000,000 titles available on Kindle through Amazon. Today, all five of Natalie's books are ranked below 100,000 paid in Kindle: that's 5 books in the top 10%...isn't it???
Now the part I don't understand...yesterday is a prime example. At 6:00 pm last evening, "Behind Closed Doors" was ranked 102,089 in paid kindle sales...at 11:30 last night, it had jumped to 51,729 in paid kindle sales...from the numbers, it would seem she sold a bunch of copies during that period...reality seems to say it was only 2 or 3 copies. At least, that is what the royalty numbers seem to indicate.
So, can anyone out there shed some light on this subject? How does Amazon ranking work???
And what does it mean when "Sister Wife" has been ranked as high as #10 in "Books>Religion & Spirituality>Christianity>Mormonism" ???
