I once bought a bathroom scale from Amazon (lol fat) The maker sent me a free kitchen food scale as well for my "unbiased opinion". I did not write a review.

its a tough spot OP. while its certainly a neat idea, its so insanely widespread its clearly biasing product reviews. on the other hand, how do you really police it? you cant tell some company not to give stuff away and you cant tell people not to review it if you didnt pay full price. the same effect occurs when something goes on a deep sale briefly as well also OP, bobcats are really cool, shame on you for weaponizing them

They pay people pennies per job to do stupid poo poo like shill reviewing ebooks no one will ever buy, spam youtube comments, search for stupid crap on google to improve it's results. Basically anything that will make a product look like it's not the unwanted piece of poo poo that it actually is.

shoophobo posted:I once bought a bathroom scale from Amazon (lol fat) This is a tough spot for a lot of people starting out (or smaller businesses) because without a lot of reviews you're not going to get a lot of sales but if you don't have sales you aren't going to get a lot of reviews... It's not 100% borne of shadiness. Amazon in particular really puts a lot of weight on customer reviews in terms of if you win the 'buy box' or not and scales are probably a fairly competitive product.

THE DOG HOUSE posted:its a tough spot OP. while its certainly a neat idea, its so insanely widespread its clearly biasing product reviews. on the other hand, how do you really police it? Easy: just require that the reviewer purchased the item from Amazon. That would also eliminate pre-release reviews and people swarming review pages to lower a product's score because they hate the company (which happens to every video game on Amazon).

I sell poo poo on amazon and unfortunately you are competing with tons of people who have lots of reviews, many of which are gotten like this, and there's no way to compete at all initially without seeding it with a lot of these reviews just to get the star graphic and the # of reviews up. I would honestly love if no one had them at all and it was all just organic reviews but that just isn't the way the game is played anymore. Apparently on some Amazons sites it is, like I have heard on Amazon Japan it's not uncommon for the #1 item to have like 10 reviews and have an average of 3.8 or something because people don't think being okay deserves a 5 there like they do here, where having a 4.7 on uber will get you fired and killed. Also when I first started I for some reason thought people would really leave me honest reviews and that's actually what I really wanted because they were like test orders of products that I was trying to figure out if I wanted to sell a lot of, and it would have been really useful to get like 100 people's honest opinions, but it's obviously basically a wink wink nudge nudge kinda thing like everyone knows. It sucks and I wish it didn't work like that but seriously good loving luck launching something on Amazon without doing it because your actual customers are gonna leave reviews at a rate of like 5% if you are SUPER lucky or have some sort of awesome e-mail followup that people respond to well, and since it's gonna be hard to get sales to begin with without reviews, 5% of a very small number is gonna take forever to get any reviews.
