Bestseller Rank on Amazon - What does it mean?


What is the Bestseller Rank on Amazon?
The Bestseller Rank on Amazon (BSR for short) defines which products sell most frequently on Amazon within a category and within a specific time period and is therefore an important indicator for successful Amazon SEO. It is also referred to as Sales Rank.
The product in 1st place is currently the most frequently sold product in the respective product category within the last 24 hours. Amazon calculates the BSR based on sales. Other criteria, such as product reviews, are not taken into account. The Bestseller Rank is recalculated hourly by Amazon and the product in first place is marked with an orange Bestseller Badge. This badge is also displayed in advertisements (Sponsored Products and Sponsored Brands). A product can have different Bestseller Ranks in different categories. So if you see several Bestseller products on the search results page, they are in 1st place in different categories. The sales rank of your product accordingly shows you how many and which similar products are sold more or less frequently.
