How to Raise a Sales Rank on Amazon

You can raise the Amazon sales rank for an item you sell on Amazon to increase the item's prominence in search results and, ideally, sell more of the item. Amazon sales rank rises when you sell more items. Promoting your item extensively optimizes you chances of selling more of the item and, therefore, increasing its sales rank. The better-selling your item becomes, the higher it ranks in organic searches others perform, which makes selling a more automatic process.

Instructions

      Log in to your Amazon account. Go into your seller "Control Panel" and click the "Edit" button under the page for the items whose sales rank you want to increase. Review the page title, description and any pictures that go along with it to make sure the page accurately and concisely describes the item. A quality page that makes the item sound appealing to potential buyers is essential if you want a high percentage of browsing visitors to purchase it, thereby increasing its sales rank. Save the page when you finish editing it.

      Contact sellers of complementary -- but not identical -- items to inquire about cross-promotional opportunities. For example, if you sell handmade skirts, contact someone who makes her own handbags or tops and cross-promote your items as a package deal. Doing so draws greater attention to both your items and exposes each to a new audience.
