A Goodreads user asked Jaimie Engle:

What is your advice on finding good Amazon keywords?

Jaimie Engle Taylor, I look up books I think are similiar to mine and see what categories they are ranking in. Then, I find keywords that are similiar to those categories. I also always use the word "book" since only 2% of shoppers are looking for books so I want to be on that radar. And finally, I choose a social issue that my book exhibits as a minor category to have multiple showings on Amazon. Stay away from large, blanket categories and find small ones. Amazon LOVES being able to create new categories and new top 100 lists... so why not you??
