These numbers are a bit out of date now...

Just launched NovelRank for tracking Amazon Sales Rank, and if you sold 1 book a day for an entire month, you would have a rank around 100,000 - 200,000. It's tricky business, but any book > 1000 sales rank can have the sales tracked pretty accurately by watching the ups and downs of the rank.

By the way, NovelRank is free of ads and cost. Feel free to check it out if you are an author.

Cheers.

that is soo illegal to post!

that is soo illegal to post! Amazon does not release any information regarding their sales ranking system. It will be on CNN about the lawsuit brought against this site for this kind of disclosure I can see it now..

Thanks!

As a new publisher out the door, I don't feel bad now about my 800,000 ranking after one month. Phew! I knew it couldn't be that bad.

I think I'll treat it like my scale when I weigh myself in the morning - you never know if it's accurate or if you'll be up or down. Just depends...

e-books v print books

It will be interesting to watch global trends in book publishing, to see if e-books ever steal the thunder from print books, the way e-music seems to be cutting into "printed" music on CD's.

There's an interesting list of sources of statistics on book sales at Google Answers:
