What is BSR or best seller rank?

Amazon BSR, the Amazon best seller rank, is a numbered ranking assigned by Amazon to every item. BSR is an excellent indicator of how significantly an item has been selling on Amazon. It ranges from 1 to more than 1 million. The items with high sales have mostly low best seller rank. while low sales have high BSR. So basically, the lower the BSR number of an item means it is an item that sells favorably. And conversely, the higher number stands for slow sales.

For example, if an item has a position at number 6 it has achieved more significant sales than an item graded at number 205. However, it’s necessary to understand if the best seller rank of an object is low, it doesn’t represent how good that product is selling compared to other similar products, only its all-around position.

To find the seller rank open any listing and scroll down. You will find the ranking of that listing in the main category and its sub-category. The Monopoly game shown below ranks #46 in Toys and Games while it ranks higher at #5 in Board Games category under Toys and Games.
