Latest results using Amazon ads

Wow! My book sales have been really low all summer. I've been running Amazon ads and discovered that in June, in under 5 days 655 ads ran for "The Ghosts of Springhollow." This month, I did another week's worth of ads and in under 5 days - less than 100 ads have run. That explains a lot! Last month, I had sales - this month - my sales have been made off-line.

If you're not familiar with how the ads work, it goes like this. Ads run whenever someone types in a keyword that's in your list for your book. So, last month, people were putting in those keywords like crazy. This month, hardly anyone is. It'll be interesting to see what happens in August.
