Amazon's Movers & Shakers

I wanted to share with everyone how to reach Amazon "Movers & Shakers". These are the items that have increased the greatest in sales rank at Amazon over the past 24 hours. The list is updated hourly. Why should you care? Two main reasons:

1 - People are buying more of these items because they are being promoted on television, radio, or have been just released. They are popular and often timely.

2 - People are buying more of these items because they are on sale at Amazon and are a fantastic value.

Movers & Shakers
are available not only for books, but for all other Amazon categories. These other categories are apparel, automotive, baby, beauty, camera & photo, cell phones & service, computers & PC hardware, DVD, electronics, gourmet food (yes, really!), grocery (I do much of my grocery shopping via Amazon Prime and thus pay no shipping), health & personal care, home & garden, industrial & scientific, jewelry & watches, kitchen & housewares (lots of sales here), magazines, music, musical instruments, office products, outdoor living, software, sports & outdoors, tools & hardware, toys, video, and video games. Find out what's hot and where the sales are.

To get to Movers & Shakers, you cannot navigate via Amazon's navigation system. You must use a special link:

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/new-for-you/movers-and-shakers/-/books

This will take you to the Books page, but the other Movers & Shakers can be accessed via the links on the left. I had to write to Amazon three times to get this link, as I could locate nothing on their web site, and have had it bookmarked for years. I'd thought there would be an easier way, but apparently there isn't.

Thanks for the welcome! I liked your blog so far! Looks like I have a long way to go. Any idea how I can link the Finding Water group to my page? Thanks. Have a great day!

Hi, Butterfly,

Yes, first go to your dashboard. This you can do by clicking the "B" in orange at the top left of your blog page. Then, pick "Layout" which is pretty much in the center of the page. Next choose "Add a Page Element" from the layout of the page. Pick "Link List" to make a list of links. I hope you can follow this. Play around with it for a while and see what you can do. Don't be afraid of making a mistake, as you can always delete things that don't turn out right.

Or, if this is easy, you can follow my directions to link to the Finding Water icon (a little bit harder than just adding a link) at:

Hopefully this will help!
