Default Here's something else to ponder...

The book is no longer in the best seller list. Not anywhere in the top 100.

This clearly shows that while you may be able to manipulate amazon sales for a few hours, by asking your list to buy your book and by asking your buddies to ask their list to buy your book, for long term high sales rankings you need other promotional efforts.

I'll often search amazon for books I've heard about elsewhere instead of browsing amazon for something to buy. This would have a more powerful effect on sales rankings as the other promotional effort is longer lasting.

See, Joe Vitale's message said to buy before a certain deadline. So he wanted everyone to buy all at the same time, or at least on the same day.

He knew he wasn't likely to have enough sales over the long haul to get him up there. But because amazon updates their list hourly, he might be able to sneak up there for an hour or so.

If you search for the book now, the shipping time is now down to 5 to 6 days. Although I couldn't find its current amazon sales ranking.
