As if we didn’t have enough things to make us crazy,
Amazon has come up with a new one—Amazon Author Rank. This is different from
the “sales” rank for individual books on individual platforms. The new ranking
compiles all your books sold on Amazon—Kindle, hardcopy and multiple titles
combined.
You can access this new ranking on your Author Central
Page. A new tab, “Rank” appears right next to the old “Sales Info” tab. Click
on that and you’ll see how you rank from Amazon’s perspective. As with anything
Amazon, it changes hourly and with sweeping changes.
