Amazon tracks the stats of all the authors it sells for. Something that they've started to do is author rank. They only track the top 500,000 authors, which is a lot of authors! It gets updated every hour and is based on how many books are being sold. My highest rank so far was in November, it was 105,440.
Amazon also tracks the individual book sells. They track the top two million books. Currently my highest ranked book is The True Story of Hope the cat coming in at a very modest 474, 446.
So, I might not be a top selling author but my work is getting read, which is a reward within itself.
