Understanding Sales Rank
Best Sellers Rank hints at how fast a product sells. Here is how to read it without over-trusting it.
What it is
A number showing how a product is selling compared with others in its category. Lower means faster.
Limits
- It moves constantly
- It is per category
- One sale can shift a slow product a long way
Use it with
- Rank history over months
- Number of sellers
- Price history
Rule of thumb
A consistently low rank over time means steady demand. A single good day means little.
