Amazon Messing With Best Seller Lists

Amazon got the bright idea
to drop what they deemed
‘adult’ content
(which included
children’s books written for
the alternative lifestyle crowd
and classics like
D.H. Lawrence’s Lady Chatterley’s Lover)
from their best seller lists
and rankings.

Then they were surprised
at the very noisy outcry.

Ummm…
what part of best selling
did Amazon not understand?
Of course, more people would be upset.
More people bought those books.

If you mess with your top products,
be it the Classic Coke formulation
or the product’s placement
on best seller lists,
you WILL get push back.

As you should
because that says customers care.
