Unlock the Secret Strategy Top Authors Use to Score Free Reviews from Influencers with Thousands of Followers!
Only verified reviews affect Amazon‘s algorithms.
How Amazon’s Book Algorithms Work
- Amazon’s ranking systems boost books that show consistent daily sales, rather than books that have large sales over a short period of time. (See The Old Amazon Best Seller Scam is Still Happening! Don’t Be Sucked In!!)
- If someone buys your book along with another author’s book, Amazon’s algorithms can insert the “already bought” loop, meaning they may feature both books together for future readers.
- Amazon’s algorithms reward authors who are directing people from their website or social media links directly to a specific product page on Amazon.
- Reviews don’t affect a book’s sales rank, but they can directly affect the number of people who actually buy your book.
- Amazon’s algorithms also favor detailed reviews that mention the theme, plot, and other specific things. Those are used by Amazon’s search engines for people looking for specific types of books. Prolific book reviewers know this.
- Amazon’s algorithms also consider reviews as a sign of trust for potential buyers. They call it “social proof.”
