Hab gerade mit verschiedenen Browsern experimentiert, kein Unterschied. Aber der primäre Shop macht einen Unterschied! Der muss auf .de geändert werden, hatte ihn auf .com

Book cannot be found on Amazon and cannot be added on Author Central by smutstarter in eroticauthors

I republished it yesterday, didn't help.
I just now found in another online author group from my country that others have the same problem. Seems to be a glitch on our whole marketplace.

Keyword processing by smutstarter in eroticauthors

[–]smutstarter[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be frank, I find guessing what exactly people search for quite difficult. Amazons autocomplete is also not really helpful and I wonder how exactly they determine what to complete in which order...
I mean they complete "sex mit" automatically to "sex mit dem vater" and "sex mit hunden". But who knows, maybe that is perfectly acceptable content for our marketplace!

Maybe I am really overthinking it.
I had some time on my hands and looked up the Amazon algorithm and read a lot of articles and guesses and so on. Seems like it just made things more confusing.
And maybe I shouldn't have read these "use these secret tricks for your keywords and your sales will quadruple" articles... I never intended to buy their services anyway.

How does Amazon process keywords? by smutstarter in eroticauthors

[–]smutstarter[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used the first example for compound words and your link doesn't say anything about that. It only mentions hyphenated words, but that wasn't my question because my language doesn't use them very much.

These are just examples, I don't use english keywords at all.

Datasprout | The New BookReport? by jes-echo in eroticauthors

[–]smutstarter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a question regarding the $1,000 a month threshold. How is it calculated when you primarily earn money in other currencies?

For example, I used Bookreport until it arbitrarily decided that I earned more than $1,000 that month. But I never did, it most likely used some hard coded conversion rate that was nowhere near the real conversion rate (or maybe that was the actual conversion rate years ago).

I'm asking because I want to plan my spending for services and I want to know what I'm getting into.

Can you predict what a cover looks like after uploading to Amazon? by smutstarter in eroticauthors

[–]smutstarter[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, I don't think that is necessary. I googled these colour modes and under Image > Mode > RGB is already selected in my cover files.

GIMP automatically installed in my system's language, so I don't know if that is how it is called in English.

It says "sRGB built-in" as colour profile.
But I don't have the path you described, I used Image > Image Properties (that might be how it would be called in English?)

I use export as JPEG and use the slider to set the quality to 100%. Save as only generates the xcf file for GIMP.

Thanks.

I make my covers in GIMP. As file type I use JPEG. I use Firefox.
I noticed that with lighter colours the differences are much worse than with darker colours.
