Updates on Best Seller Tag Tracking in Book Tracker
Here are some of the latest updates, all of which are now available inside the BookBeam app and Chrome Extension:
Book Tag Tracking
We have added a tag-tracking feature inside the Book Tracker tool, which will allow you to keep track of tags for your books or competitors’ books.
This feature also provides a preview of which category or categories the book is ranking number 1, by hovering your mouse over your choice of book.
There are 3 most common types of tags:
-
- Best Seller – orange tag, shown when you reach the first position in any category. Amazon shows this tag in search results, on the book listing page, and in book suggestion sections at the second half of book listing pages.
-
- Top New Release – orange tag, shown when a book is number one in a “New Releases” sub-section of a category. Amazon considers a book a new release only for 30 days. Shows in search results, and on the book listing page.
This is a great way to kickstart the sales of your book after launch. It also is the easiest tag to achieve, since the competition is only amongst other books that were recently published.
- Top New Release – orange tag, shown when a book is number one in a “New Releases” sub-section of a category. Amazon considers a book a new release only for 30 days. Shows in search results, and on the book listing page.
-
- Amazon Charts – blue tag, shown when a book has been in the top 20 most read and sold books in all of the store.
Having any of these tags given to your book gives your book an advantage. The tags are great for both attracting attention on different pages throughout Amazon as well as establishing credibility, both of which lead to more sales.
Email Notifications for Tag Updates
Along with the tag tracking, we have also added email notifications. This means that whenever you gain or lose a tag, you can be notified by email.
This information can be used to regain the tag by switching categories or boosting sales.
To receive the tag update notifications for a book, it has to be selected for daily email notification updates. You can add or remove books from notification updates by clicking the “Edit Tracker” button at the top right corner.
Here’s a sample tag update email:
