Amazon Disappearing Reviews: The Surprising Reason Why Book Reviews are Getting Pulled (and how to fix it) - Author Marketing Experts

I am so tired.

Panzer is recovering from last night's Independence Day fireworks show. His trip into the Catosphere was a quick stop at the Author Marketing Experts site. There our poor tired kitty found a post about Amazon reviews.

According to Penny Sansevieri, if you notice some of your book reviews being taken down, it's due to Amazon's robotic algorithms. Being a robot, it flags reviews for reasons we human authors don't know or understand; but, the post offers some suggestions for possible fixes. A means to clean up how an author asks for reviews using URLs is explained. Also, included is the proper wording reviewers should use to avoid review take-downs. There are other suggestions included in the post to stop the Amazon attack bots. Be sure to read the Comments section too.

Panzer says, "This little kitty didn't know URLs were so important."

Note: This is a l-o-n-g post. Bring a thermos of tea and half a dozen muffins for today's reading selection.
