Seriously? Ah…that’s not as cool anymore. 🙁 Used to be a perfect amount for the non-seo’ers out there. 🙁

“But to completely snub this simple tactic is like the Fellowship of the Ring not using the eagles to fly to Mordor…they still got there, but only after a ridiculously long period of serious struggles and some bumps along the way.”
ARE YOU KIDDING ME? The eagles are NOT a taxi service! They are a highly intelligent species that have free will and their own form of government! Not only that, but do you think Sauron would have hesitated to shoot them all down the moment they were spotted in the sky? The purpose of the Fellowship of the Ring and the linchpin of the entire strategy decided on in Rivendell was to destroy the Ring in a mission of secrecy!

In reply to Anthony Kim. Hi Anthony. Good question. In the 3 month period, Amazon tests you out near the top but also gives preferential treatment to new books that come in. However, if you prove that during that time period or even when a new books shows up, that your book is the book that people still purchase over others when they type in that keyword, you'll sit at the top. Basically, Amazon wants to put the book that gets the best sales conversions at the top for a specific keyword. They'll show a new book at the top from time to time, but if your book sells better than those, you'll move right back up at the top and stay there till someone else beats you. However, if you show up and quickly drop, then changing keywords can potential help as well.

Hi Dave, seriously great article. Quick question for you: you mention that the relevance of Kindle keywords quickly dissipates 3 months after publishing. Does this mean that, if you were to re-optimize your keywords say, 6 months or a year after publication, then this re-optimization would not be of much impact?

Hi Dave. Luv this guide!! Very intuitive, and everything works as described. I have a few questions:

1)- As we test our first pages for the keyword searches on Amazon, should we use Sort by Relevance option?

2)- The Amazon Best Seller Rating that we use in “How strong are the books on the first page”, is this the first rank listed (Paid in Kindle Store) ?

3)- You stated we should use KWFinder to look for an SEO between 20-25. Any guidance for the search result of KWFinder?

4)- How do we apply SEO keywords? Do we cleverly embed them in the book description under Kindle eBook Details?

Thanks!

Dave, this article (book chapter, maybe?) is a virtual treasure throve of likely in-house secrets,,, It shows how much you dig the topic and cherish sharing it. I first “met” you on Alinka Rutkowska’s website, authorremake.com/ and got very impressed. Don’t lock it up, not yet!
