After 9 years of service, Amazon has decided to shut us down. NovelRank can no longer track sales rank data. If you found value in this free service, consider donating.
In August 2018, Amazon canceled our affiliate accounts as well as our API access (how we collected sales rank data), stating we violated their Code of Use. "Specifically, you are using our Content for reasons other than sending end users and sales to the Amazon Site." I know this is heartbreaking for those who have come to depend on the service. It's also heartbreaking for me as this was my job, my income, and it happened weeks after my wedding. I'm just as disappointed as you probably are.
Below I've outlined what happens next and answer some common questions I've received since this was first announced.
There is no set asking price as it is dependent on what assets are included: domain, code, consulting, etc. The value is in the positive brand image, SEO, and deep history. Just email me to start a conversation. Please note that the service cannot simply be restarted without extreme risk of a shutdown by Amazon.
Regretfully,
