Lulu Titlescorer
Have some time on your hands and want to have a little internet fun? Try putting in the titles of some of your favorite books into Lulu's Titlescorer to see how likely they are to become bestsellers. Here is a list with score of some of the books I have read recently.
The percentage is their likelihood of becoming bestsellers.The Name of the Wind - 69%
Goblin War - 35.9%
The Blade Itself - 26.3%
Empress - 35.9%
The Hidden City - 10.2%
Rolling Thunder - 79.6%
Phytosphere - 35.9%
Small Favor - 69%
Try it with your favorites! Obviously other factors go into a book being a bestseller, such as existing author notoriety, genre, marketing, etc., but in a vacuum, this holds some weight. ;)

That was fun :) A short story I'm writing, when finished, will rock the publishing world ;) They assume quite a reasonable understanding of grammar, though!
