In reply to Julia.

Potentially – if this is a term you really think people are searching for, then look for the books that fit that search, and see if they are converting. If they aren’t, then ask why. The answer is either because there search isn’t that much or you can see why those books don’t interest them.

Hi Dave,
does the method you mentioned under 2. (Find Out if the Idea is Profitable during the Book Topic Validation Process) also work if the books have nothing to do with the keyword? When I finally find a good keyword I find that there are many books that have nothing to do with the topic or are bestsellers that rank for almost every keyword you can think of throughout multiple genres. Should I exclude them from the calculation and only add the books that are similar to the book I am planning to write? Or stay away from this keyword to be on the safe side? The problem with these highly searched keywords that have low competition in my nieche is that I can’t find even one book that is similar to the one I am planning to write. This makes it so difficult to determine if these are actual buyers who are typing the keyword or what they are looking for. Sorry for the horrible punctuation and grammar I am trying to calm fighting kids while writing and English is not my native language.

In reply to alvaro. Currently it works for US, German and soon will be UK. We have other markets planned but aren't sure exactly when that will happen.

Hey Dave new to Publisher Rocket (less than a month purchased as Jeff W.). Awesome tool really opened my eyes into why my LC and Medium content books weren’t selling- so worth the investment!Kind of a newbie question for keyword competition. Closer to zero is best relative to the other scores but what about a medium area. Would a good rule of thumb be 50 and under. Niche down if above 50?Thoughts?
Thanks in advance 🙂

This article doesn’t give you any tips. It is just one big indirect marketing write up to pay for Publisher Rocket. Unsubscribe!

In reply to Greg Leischner. Hi Greg. The Amazon Bestseller Rank (ABSR) is the ranking of your book over all other books in all of Amazon based on sales. The Category ABSR is the relative ranking of all the books inside that particular category. It uses your Amazon ABSR to determine this. So, if the #1 bestselling book in a category has a Amazon ABSR of 95,010....then you'd need a 95,009 in order to be the new #1 bestseller in that category.

When I did the initial Amazon analysis, I noticed that among the first 14 books shown under my keyword term, none of them had the same ‘hook’ or specific topic that I would be using. Also, some of the titles had a dismal ABSR in my keyword search result listing category; but had a much, much better ABSR in a different category. For example, the #1 book result in my keyword category had an ABSR of 413,404 – but had an ABSR of 440 in the “business startup” business category. It looks like the category selected has a HUGE impact on saleability.

In reply to Gary Townsend. No, except make sure you switch the Calculator to book data when analyzing the ABSR.
