Do you mean a tracker that look the Amazon ranking?
Or a tracker that look how much units have in stock at Amazon?

PS. Can be others stores... just using Amazon like a example.

i think we should do all stores we can find, split up by region,   and then averages or maybe a weighted average if we can find out marketshare for given sites

unless thats to big to chew

There are some issues because the way to get the data is accessing the webpage and parsing the it to get the numbers... so for each page it will need to make a new parser and if for any reason they changed the page it will need to be reworked.

But it can be done.

Rankings.

At least for Amazon we could compare yearly and monthly stats to get accurate results.
