Top Ten Sellers

One of the things I personally enjoy on zlert is being able to easily view lists of top sellers in any category. It's easy to keep up with what items are hot right now.

All you have to do is select a category in the drop down menu on the search page and type "+TS" and hit the "Go" button. Putting the "+" in front is important - it marks it as a special search.

For example, here is a list of the top ten toys on Amazon.com, labeled 1 to 10.

On the search results page, you can change category and hit the "Go" button again, to see another categories top ten. I often spend time flipping between categories, just to see what folks are buying.

Drill down within a category to see top ten lists in various sub-categories. For example for Sci-Fi DVDs.

You can also set up an alert to have the top ten items in any category or sub-category emailed to you on a daily, weekly or monthly basis. Liking movies, I have the list of top ten selling DVDs emailed to me every morning.
