How To Track The Amazon Sales Rank And Price Of Products
As an Amazon seller one of the tasks I do is monitor how often my items sell. All Amazon sellers do this. We like to know:
- What sells at what price.
- Are there any other sellers competing for the prized buy-box.
- What effect does a sale have on the sales rank of the product.
Doing this type of monitoring gets very boring so one thing I do is outsource this type of work.
BUT, Not The Normal Outsourcing
Most people outsource mundane, repetitive tasks to personal assistants and team members. I do something similar but with a twist. I create small computer programs that focus on individual tasks. Instead of employing a virtual assistant through oDesk or hiring some local help, if I know I can write a program to do a simple task that is what I do.
Product Tracker
An example of one of these programs I call Product Tracker. It’s not a complicated program but it helps me monitor product information over time so I can use the information when determining when to reprice items, find out who I am competing against and get a better feel of how sales rank compares to product sales volume.
Is this something that would help you, then by all means download a copy and save yourself from doing one of those boring tasks.

I hope you find the program useful and if you have ideas of other programs that would help you out, let me know. I may have a program that does the task for you or I can add it to my To-Do list.

Hi Pete
If last column shows merchants, where do I see Amazon.com and Fulfillment by Amazon?

Hmm, let me look into that. I focus mainly on the UK site. May be I need to add a little extra for US.
I’ll get back to you Fellios.

Pete,
I have a Mac Book and I am unable to open this download. It’s a microsoft windows application.
Is there any way I can use this?
Also I tried to contact your email by clicking the ‘Contact Pete’ above and it says that it is not a valid email address. I tried pete@nichespin.com
Thanks. If you can help.

Hi Ada,
The software will only work on PC’s. So unless you run windows on the Mac you will not be able to run the software.
On the email problem, my mail box seems to be working fine. I’m not sure why it didn’t work for you!

Looks like this tool could be very helpful

Excellent video! Quick question. In the output file, is the price the Buy Box price or the actual price by Amazon (as seller)?

The Buy Box price
