---Amazon Sales Rank 101---
Stephen Smotherman

What is sales rank?
Sales rank is a snapshot of right now.  How well a product has been selling recently..
Where do you find sales rank?
---Product details section of the Product Page includes the Sales Rank --- Best Seller Rank (BSR)
BSR and Sales Rank mean the same thing on Amazon. 
---Amazon updates sales rank every hour.  The more sales in the hour the higher the sales.. No sales and the sales rank sinks..
---Electronics doesn't have sales rank, but subcategories in electronics do..  if there's no sales rank look for recent reviews..
---A bad Sales Rank doesn't necessarily mean a product will never sell.. nor does a high rank mean it will guarantee it will sell.. There's many factors involved..
