A new feature just went live that allows you to embed a small snippet of code onto your site in order to display sales rank information for your book(s). If you’ve ever used Google’s AdSense, you’re probably familiar with this kind of widget. The code snippet for any item Rankforest tracks can be found by going to that item’s detail page and clicking the “Get a widget for your site” link. As an example, this is the page for Freakonomic’s widget.

I received an email from a user asking for a little help with adding new items to the Rankforest database. I created a video that shows the sign up process as well as the steps you take to search for and add a new item to the database. The quality isn’t spectacular but it should help give you an idea of the flow.

There are also a few more videos available at YouTube.
