I sent this email to Amazon Kindle yesterday:
Hi, My novel "Enemies Foreign And Domestic" (ASIN: B004JF4L98) was in Free Select from March 1 to March 5. On March 2 it reached #2 for all genre fiction, and #1 for mystery/thrillers. I remembered to grab a screen capture at #2 all genre fiction, but I missed the chance to get a screen capture at #1 mystery/thriller.
Are these best-seller pages archived anywhere that I can access? An Amazon Kindle Best Sellers list screen capture at #1 mystery/thriller would mean a great deal to my success.
Thanks, Matt Bracken
This was the reply I received today:
Hello Matt,
Congratulations on attaining the number one rank in the Mystery/Thriller category!
In the Kindle Store, the Bestsellers Rank is divided into Free and Paid lists. During the period when your book is being offered for free, it will have a ranking in the Free list, and once the free promotion is over, your title will show up with a sales rank in the Paid list.
At this time, these best seller pages are not archived anywhere and we are not able to provide historical data , whether in the form of screenshots or confirmation emails.
Please remember the Bestsellers Rank calculation is based on Amazon sales and is updated hourly to reflect newer and historical sales of every item sold on our website, with recent sales being weighted more heavily. With this in mind, titles that are part of a free promotion may see a drop in the sales rank under Paid list after the promotion is over.
I hope this helps. Thank you for using Amazon KDP.
So, I did actually get to #1 on Mystery/Thriller. Now, here is what I would really, really, really like, if one of you guys can do it. Take the below pics, using the current "Mystery Thriller" page (with Quiver and Killing Room on top) as a format, and slide the Vince Flynn and EFAD covers up to #1. Is that doable?
No rush on this, but it would mean a lot to have an image of EFAD at #1 in mysteries and thrillers.
Thanks, Matt
