I wonder if there is evidence for this. How are books ranked on Amazon?

I don't remember seeing this in the last AE report I read (it has been a while), but does AE have a method to account for this if it is happening? I know their original methods required enough people reporting their own ranks and how many of their books sold/etc. in order to be accurate. If the BPHs are paying to get books ranked wouldn't that really skew things? Or is the pay to show up list only for what gets shown on the front pages/book pages, not for the actual top ### lists?
