I didn’t know Amazon worked  this way… I sure could use the reviews. I know there’s enough people who bought it. Review review people!

    I wasn’t aware of these numbers. Interesting.

    Problem is, I was at the >50 mark for some of my books, then Amazon starting deleting reviews they deemed were from friends. Now, I’m left with thirty-something reviews for said books.

    This is very interesting! As for reviews deemed ‘from friends and family’. I have a review on one that states he knew me when I was just starting to work on the first book in my series…goes on to give a glowing review and 5 stars. They left it up and took a 4 star rating down that actually ragged a little on the book. I think there’s some sort of algorithm but I have no idea.

    I didn’t realize that accumulating reviews helped in those ways. Thanks for passing that on.
