Weblog on the Internet and public policy, journalism, virtual community, and more from David Brake, a Canadian academic, consultant and journalist

Now that my new book “Managing E-mail”:http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/1405300264/qid%253D1044801476/davidbrakeswe-21 is out I shall be monitoring its sales progress with interest. I looked around for sites that could help me do this and found three – “Jungle Scan”:http://www.junglescan.com/ lets you keep track of your book’s Amazon rank, “GoogleAlert”:http://www.googlealert.com/ emails you at regular intervals to tell you what has changed in a Google search for a given term (like a book title) so you can see newly-indexed pages about your subject (useful for lots of things besides books!). The third service from “Books & Writers”:http://www.booksandwriters.com/ lets you track both Amazon and Barnes and Noble’s sales ranking but the very week I started to use it they announced they are introducing a charge.

  1. Also check out http://allconsuming.net/ which tracks book mentions in weblogs (provided the mention is a link to amazon, alas).

    I guess I should link to your book on my blog, eh? 🙂
