What I've found by monitoring Amazon this last year is that one sale will
push your book to a ranking of around 50k. It then starts to drop at a rate
of from a few hundred to about 10k per hour depending on how many other
books are being sold and how many books you sold in the past month or so
(good selling books sink slower than poor sellers)

If you sell another book on the same day then the ranking rises to about
35k. And each supplementary book sold (again in the same day) will cause the
ranking to rise by about a third. So to get 10k you must sell at least 5
copies in one day. As the rankings are adjusted hourly the best rankings are
achieved by having all 5 copies sold in the same hour.

Can you describe your research methodology? Did you know people who
were ordering single copies and watch the effect?
