Kevin is right - the price does effect the "popularity list" and I believe the "search" algorithm. The "Bestseller lists" it does not...those lists are purely sales but are harder to find/get to so the popularity ones are more relevant.
Yup! And then of course popularity ranking affects bestselling ranking as a secondary effect. Higher popularity ranking has a positive effect on sales, which then boosts bestselling rank (sorry if I was unclear about that being a secondary effect in the earlier post).
