Even though many experts talk about Amazon keywords, categories, and pricing, few experts mention this important fact: Amazon is more a search engine than a store. In fact, Amazon is the “Google” of online buying.
But there is no instant, magic formula when it comes to ranking on Amazon. There’s a lot of shortcut software out there, and keyword apps, but there’s nothing like good, old-fashioned hard work to make your Amazon page soar. Much like ranking on Google, people are always searching for shortcuts, but they rarely work.
When you want your website to rank on Google, you have to think through what keywords you want to rank for.
It’s the same at Amazon.
There are approximately one billion ebook titles and three million print books on Amazon, and, yes, you can still be on page one or claim the number-one title.
Why?
Because most people aren’t aware that Amazon is its own search engine.

Searching for keywords was how my book ‘A House Without Windows’ was found by a media production company in New York, who eventually passed on that one but are now reading 3 of my other stories too.
