Some book marketing gurus argue that you should use up as many of the available characters as possible, while others believe you should only enter in a target phrase. This conflicting advice has left lots of authors scratching their heads, wondering how to actually approach their kindle keywords.
This will give you the best strategy going forward and answer some other questions we tackled through this experiment. Each author is allowed to input their target keywords into 7 boxes. Each box allows for a maximum of 50 characters. Here at Kindlepreneur, we built out an experiment to find the answer to this question.
I'll explain how that worked in just a moment. Before we go further, it might be useful to first define some of the terminology I will use throughout this article:. Keyword boxes: These are the seven kindle keyword boxes where you get to choose the keywords you want your book to show up for. You can find these seven boxes in your Kindle Direct Publishing account when you are either editing an existing book , or uploading and publishing a new book.
Amazon Search Result Page : When someone types in a phrase into Amazon's search box, Amazon then presents them with a list of products. These are called the Amazon Search Results. If your book shows up on this page immediately, then we say that it is listed on the first page of search results. If, however, you need to click to see the next set of results, then we call this the second page of search results, and so on. When I personally have a high level conversation with a publishing company or another marketer, I too call them SERPs.
Indexing for a Keyword: For the purposes of book marketing , indexing for a keyword is when you convince Amazon to list your book for that keyword phrase. It doesn't necessarily mean you show up on the first page of the Amazon search results, it just means Amazon acknowledges your book should be listed for that search phrase and you will therefore show up somewhere in the search results for that keyword.
Ranking for a Keyword : In a previous definition, we discussed that the Amazon Search Results is a listing of products shown after a customer does a search. The rankings for that phrase or keyword the customer typed in is the number at which the product shows up. If you rank however, that means the shopper would need to go through many search results pages in order to see your book as the th book listed for that keyword.
Rankings are very important because, as you can see from the below graph, the book that ranks 1 for a keyword gets the most clicks by a huge margin.
In the end I choose books with 82 being fiction and 38 being nonfiction. Each author submitted the current keywords they have listed in the 7 boxes. We marked whether or not the author had used the strategy of filling in as many of the characters as possible or was specific with their keyword phrase choices — or some combination of the two. I then utilized a special crawler that the Publisher Rocket development team created just for this experiment.
The crawler was designed to rapidly go through thousands of genre and topic specific keywords, Amazon suggested keywords, keywords in their title and subtitle , and the listed keywords that fit our volunteer books.
Then it would index whether or not it found any of the volunteer books and at what rank up to since that is a far as we could financially go. Once we had our data, we then had the volunteers change their data depending on whether or not they used the full box strategy or the specific strategy.
Afterwards, we ran the crawler again and marked the changes in results. We even went further to check if there was a decay of rankings or not over time. For the Statistician Friends Out There : I know, I know… books is not perfect for generating statistical proof and the standard deviation and sample size are not ideal.
However, I'd request that you keep in mind the results were pretty sound to allow for such conclusions, and it was all we could afford to run considering this was a very expensive experiment. Based on our findings, the answer is clearly yes. We found that the more words or phrases you entered in the Kindle box, so as to fill in as much of the 50 characters as possible, the more your book was indexed for. Which leads us to our next observation….
