Amazon Giveaway... did it work?

I've tried it before without much luck, but I decided to try again.

This time I did all three books of my 'Arlo and Jake' Scifi series, one after the other. I ran 25 copies of each book, each over a week giveaway.

On the plus side, all three giveaways only lasted a couple of days before the books were gone! At least I got some immediate positive response.

Each book climbed above the 1000 'Best Sellers Mark' rating. And they stayed there for about a week! Then, back down the slide. Bummer.

So far there has not been a continued interest in those books. I'm hoping that some of the winners will leave a review and bring my books back into the light.

My giveaways were fairly small, I hesitate to invest hundreds of dollars in something that may not give me any return. But maybe that's my problem? Maybe if I do a 200/300 giveaway, they will climb above the 50 mark and move into the lime light, even for a while? I just don't know.

If you've had experience with this, please drop a comment.

Thanks!
