Buying reviews- how amazing. I often wondered how it was done. Now I know.
No thank you. I think I'll stick to my dozen fans who actually read my work, liking it or not.
But to those of you who are doing this to pump up your sales? Just like steroid junkies, you will be caught.
Enjoy your high...because the lows may not be as much fun.
Notes from the article about buying amazon reviews below-
"In 2012, self-published author XXXX (omitted to spare his/her outting by me personally) admitted to buying 300 fake reviews from http://www.GettingBookReviews.com and Amazon left every fake review in tact. What XXXX never admitted to, however, were reviews purchased elsewhere.
In all, XXXX purchased close to 1,000 reviews. These reviews were for Amazon, Goodreads, Barnes & Noble, and other sites.
XXXXX also had organized friends-family review writing schemes though. Schemes that account for the bulk of XXX's remaining reviews and ratings. Some 2100 reviews and 3500 ratings in all."
Huh....learn something new every day....
