Sock Puppet Reviews at Amazon

Reviews are hard to get, and we spend an incredible amount of effort to get litlte girl dress reviews!

I have become a bit cynical about reviews at other sites. Authors sometimes do tricks to get better reviews.

Some of the tricks I have read about:

• Have friends do a bunch of positive reviews on their book. Released today, and it already has 100 5 Star Reviews!  Hmm, and when did they get a chance to read it?
• Down voting reviews. A way to get rid of a negative review.
• Creating fake accounts, to create positive reviews for your books, and negative ones for competitors.
• Amazon also has a program where they give free products to reviewers, as a way to get reviews. http://www.amazon.com/gp/vine/help
