Paying others to post negative reviews; I am enlightened. This seems to be a legit publicity tool and I definitely see how it could work, especially if bigger companies were to pay people to shame books by smaller publishers. I mean, I certainly see Penguin starting a facility devoted to this purpose. The bastards. Secondly, I urge you to inspect carefully the evidence you have, and find out if it's a widespread occurence or if this kind of thing has only been limited to your book. Interesting that you managed to pinpoint the location of the reviews though. And if indeed you now know it is, please know that I personally am dying to know more about this and you should write about it sometime soon.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16717635553041292249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7912730.post-21112517810766652352014-03-18T11:02:17.482+08:002014-03-18T11:02:17.482+08:00Amazon has way to many five star reviews also.

I had no idea whatsoever that one could even purchase negative review placement--OR that positive review 'carpet bombing' was so common! Clearly, it's a well-edited and worthy read...else why go to all the trouble to discredit it?? I hope that Amazon will listen and know that more people will become aware by your efforts.Cynthia Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12167464226322884376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7912730.post-88650678734122504442013-04-29T16:52:28.423+08:002013-04-29T16:52:28.423+08:00Your experience here has really opened my eyes.

It is despicable that someone would go to those lengths to execute a personal vendetta against someone. People are sick. Keep doing what you're doing Sharon!
