Hello Publishers & Creators!

We always appreciate your feedback in helping us to provide the best service possible for both customers and publishers. Over time, we have received numerous requests to make product “metal rankings” cumulative across all sites. Thanks to our stalwart Tech Support wizards, that change is now a reality.

We are excited to announce that as of today, March 26, 2020, all metal rankings will be merged across all sites, as opposed to being counted uniquely per site. Starting on that date, no matter what OneBookShelf site you visit or where customers might have purchased your title, it will show the same metal ranking on all sites.

As we’ve made this change, we have also implemented one other, intended to limit recent abuses of the metal rankings system. From now on, in order for a title to qualify for inclusion toward rankings, it must have sold for a minimum of $0.20 USD. Titles purchased at a lower sale price will not be counted. This change will be applied retroactively to all titles sold in the past, as well.

Previously, only free titles did not count toward the metal rankings total.
