The numbers below are based on MY experiences... I'm sure you can find other authors whose numbers are different from these...but the following s/b pretty darn close.
The rankings are interesting to look at if you have a book out there and you are hoping to, for example, get on the Top 100 Romantic Suspense Bestsellers List on Amazon. If I look at the Romantic Suspense List and click on the book title of #99 or #100 and that book has a Bestsellers Rank of 3,400, then I know I need a 3,399 or better to get on that list. ABDUCTED was #93 for about an hour last night.
