I agree, though, that they'll probably be skipping self-published authors; otherwise, there is a good chance that $.99 priced-to-entice ebooks of popular authors like Hocking and Konrath will show up on their lists. And I can't think of any coherent way they could exclude free ebooks, or books that had part of their life cycle as free downloads.

I read a story about Amanda Hocking, in which she said she was selling at least 1,000 books a month. The threshold for the NYT list seems to run in the several thousands of sales per title, best I've gathered. And it's a weekly list, so you need to make those several thousand sales in one week.
