Hi! Is it possible to track the traffic my book's page is getting on Amazon? Perhaps embedding some sort of pixel tracking in the description? Or is there a website that tracks individual page hits? Or something else...?

It's not possible through Amazon, but you could use a service like booklinker to find out how many clicks you get on the links you provide. When you run an AMS ad, they will tell you how many impressions and clicks you get from the ad.

Thanks, yeah, I know this. I'm more interested in the page itself. Thanks, though!

You can start an ad campaign and it will record the number of impressions ( how many times it popped up on a users screen) and the number of clicks (actual views), however, it will cost you 0.10 to 0.25 cents per click. It will also calculate the number of sales from those clicks. It does not record how many pages were read through the lending club but I've noticed when I'm not running an ad campaign for a while, my pages read drop considerably. Start up an ad campaign again, and I'll see an immediate boost in pages read. I don't know about the rest of you, but my royalties from the lending club pages reads are higher than my book sales by nearly fifty percent.

Not for me. Most of the KU page reads for my books that are still in KDP Select come from India, and they're worth less than $0.0010 per page.
