Some follow on sales for Golden Time 7 as well but it doesn't seem to have a huge anime boost:
50 **5,595 *20,862 2013/10/10 Golden Time 7
Not exactly huge sales which is too bad. Not sure we can compare to the recent side story volume AFRICA but maybe a bit of a boost compared to that:
35 **7,821 *14,483 2013/08/10 Golden Time Retsuden AFRICA
Side-story volumes typically don't sell as well as the numbered volumes and that's the case for Golden Time. So it would be better to compare volume 7 with the previous numbered volumes, even if they are much older:
12 *17,204 *17,204 2013/04/10 Golden Time 6 (5 days)
and
26 *11,626 *27,006 2012/09/07 Golden Time 5 (10 days)
21 *15,380 *15,380 2012/09/07 Golden Time 5 (3 days)
The cutoff line for Golden Time 6's second week was at 5,501 copies sold, so it's fairly probable that volume 6 sold 3k-4k copies during that week (and would thus have sold roughly as much, if not more than volume 7 in two weeks).
It is ranking which is something as there are tens or hundreds of light novels that came out at the same time which didn't rank at all of course but I thought the anime with creator connections like that would get a boost.

I haven't seen an image of how the weekly LN sales look like, such as for BD/DVD... but it'd probably be useful to have that "days on sale" column in the data as we can see on 2ch. Example for Highschool D×D 16:
オリコン 2013年10月14日~2013年10月20日 文庫(2013年10月28日付)
*9位 **位 *1回 *22,008部 *22,008部 13/10/19 ***2日 ハイスクールD×D 16 課外授業のデイウォーカー
As for whether to add such data in the chart here in MAL, let me give it some consideration.

Thanks. Mecasonic is pretty quick in posting this as the data were out by less than 10 hours.
I hope Mecasonic is reading this. I believe the title of the post is not correct:
Weekly Oricon Rankings (Bunko): 07/10/2013~13/10/2013
should be
Weekly Oricon Rankings (Bunko): 14/10/2013~20/10/2013
Perhaps this is why NeoAnkara got confused about the days HDxD's sales were accumulated.

While people talk about anime announcement boost (which I don't think really exist)
I'm fairly sure it does exist, even if it is comparatively small. After all, having an anime announced is a form of advertising as it makes more people aware of the series, or think about the series whereas previously they wouldn't and more people doing these mean more people buying it.
Also it gets the people who are already reading it to suddenly start talking about it more, and this word of mouth voluntary advertising is by far the most effective way to get someone interested in a work of fiction.
Of course, the effect of that depends on how much attention people in Japan pay towards these announcements, but from what I've seen the Japanese anime fanbase pays quite a lot of attention to them.

RDG volume 4 came out in bunko format before the anime started and ranked.
When did SnK sales take off, when announced or when it started airing?

volume 11 sold 103k after 9 days
volume 12 has sold 107k after 11 days
Volume 11 was perhaps the bestselling volume ever from just the data from when it ranked (as opposed to yearly or half yearly bestseller lists), but it doesn't look like there's any real sales increase for volume 12.
To be honest though, any sales boost that does come from the announcement would probably mainly affect earlier volumes rather than new ones anyway.
