Awesome stuff! Jimmy Stone's Ghost Town has gone as high as #2 in CHILDREN'S BOOK --> BOYS & MEN.
That was a while back though. It's also been in the Top 20 of Children's Books --> Horror, etc.

Question:
How do these categories come about? Amazon allows 2 tags, right? Here are the ones I chose for my book:
FICTION > Mystery & Detective > Women Sleuths
FICTION > Humorous
Yet the category I ranked in is not what I chose, plus I see up to 3 categories for other titles. So does it help to play with the tags? Because my book has some paranormal elements and I wondered if that should be my category. Or is this one of those Amazon mysteries that just happens?

Not sure. I chose my categories through the KDP site. Outside of that, who knows what other factors come into play on Amazon. I'm not sure if any has all the answers, but it's sure fun to rank in the Top 100 in any category!! |

I'm in the top 100 in the UK for:
Out of Time
# Amazon Bestsellers Rank: #6,641 Paid in Kindle Store (See Top 100 Paid in Kindle Store)
* #39 in Kindle Store > Kindle eBooks > Science Fiction > High Tech
* #53 in Books > Science Fiction > High Tech
* #85 in Kindle Store > Kindle eBooks > Science Fiction > Adventure
My other three can hit the top 100 in the UK with even less sales than the US versions, but this one stays consistent in the UK Kindle store. It seems like its getting harder and harder to break through the top 100 in the US since Christmas.

# 2 in Sports Gambling # 24 in Sports I think my 1.5 sales/day is kinda capped when I float around # 1 in my genre. I'll take it - not many people can say they have the # 1 or # 2 Sports Gambling book on Kindle.  |

Zombocalypse Now has been going back and forth with a book called "Snooki in Wonderland" for the #3 and #4 slot in "Humor > Parodies."
#4 in Kindle Store > Books > Humor > Parodies
#15 in Books > Entertainment > Humor > Parodies
#45 in Kindle Store > Books > Fiction > Children's Fiction > Literature > Science Fiction, Fantasy, Mystery & Horror > Spine-Chilling Horror
I've been experimenting with switching categories to maximize exposure (since my book is so hard to categorize anyway, I have a lot of leeway with where I put it). Roughly the same sales that put me around #70-100 in the straight horror category got me to #4-5 in Parodies, since there's so much less competition. Also, "The Zombie Survival Guide" and "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies" are the top two books in Parodies, so I think it's an excellent place for my book.
