Now that I’ve just released my latest erotic story, Crashing the Swinger’s Pajama Party, and with my 50% off sale at SmashWords during July, I decided to check my ranking at SmashWords. While I don’t have any definitive figures to back me up, it is my opinion that SmashWords is the largest electronic book publisher behind Amazon Kindle. Or one of the largest, as best I can tell.
Amazon only publishes Kindle formatted books, while SmashWords distributes stories for all types of electronic readers such as phones, tablets, computers, and Mac’s.
With SmashWords, there is no easy that I’ve been able to determine an author’s ranking on the stories that I have written beyond simply counting. I’d love to hear from someone who’s figured out how to do this easily.
What I do is start at the SmashWord’s home page and click on an appropriate category then count until I see a story that I’ve written. Keep in mind that SmashWords publishes almost 500,000 stories (one-half million). My method searches the top four-one-hundredth of one percent (0.04%) of their published stories.
So you can see if you are in the top 0.04% of one-percent you’re obviously doing pretty good, at least I think so. I’m pretty darn proud of having a number of stories that are ranked either Best Seller or Highest Ranked among this top bracket.
Below are my stories and their appropriate ranks (as of 7/4/18):
Crashing the Swinger’s Pajama Party
15th best seller in Erotica – Menage/Multiple Partners
173rd best seller in all Erotica
49th best seller in Erotica – Men’s Erotica
Crashing the Swinger’s Pajama Party
162th highest ranked in Erotica – Men’s Erotica
Nina, the Fallen Ballerina
75th highest ranked Erotica – Menage/Multiple Partners
Cheating Glory Hole Wives
154th highest ranked Erotica – Men’s Erotica
Cuckolding: A Night at the Bar
164th highest ranked Erotica – Men’s Erotica

118th highest ranked Erotica – Menage/Multiple Partners
Thank you to all my loyal readers and as a thank you, all of my stories are half-off during the month of July 2018. So you can buy twice as many for the same price!

Remember that Larry Archer writes the hottest, dirtiest, best-written erotica around which is always HEA. Well, except for the BDSM parts. 🙂

Well-deserved success, Larry! Nobody works harder producing smut than you!
