THE REAL SECRET BEHIND AMAZON'S BOOK RANKING REVEALED!!!

The clandestine workings of Amazon's book ranking system have been the source of intense speculation for years.

Is it sales velocity? A dynamic algorithm? Or something far more sinister?

I'm blowing the top off of this conspiracy once and for all! Join me over at The Oddshots for a hard-hitting expose of Amazon's book ranking system!

This is the expose that will shake the very foundations of the publishing industry! And if you leave a comment, you might win a copy of Mind Games...

My deepest gratitude goes to my brave and plucky Oddshots hosts: Meljean Brook, Jill Myles, Illona Andrews, Patrice Michelle & Nalini Singh...may luck be with you!

***Thanks to Chris at Stumbling Over Chaos for the title idea...and Wikimedia for the secret Amazon Document!

Love your blog -- apologize for not having commented sooner. Lots of information and conversation to keep us thinking, and in a world where apathy and thoughtlessness seems more rampant than ever, I enjoy thinking and those who enjoy it with me. Thanks for sharing all you write . . .

Well, thanks for dissecting Amazon's secrets for us Carolyn.

It is quite a conundrum for us all I think. Me, I don't like it there, it's scary even for us lowly readers. lol

Have a nice weekend.
