Are review swaps against Amazon TOS

[Miridian09]

I can't seem to find anything to do with it and whilst I'm waiting for a lengthy response Amazon I was thinking why not the FLF. I know lots of people do it but it's irrelevant if you can get your account banned.

A simple yes or no would be great

Don't waste time here asking questions you can answer for yourself, or people will stop reading your posts.

NO - they are not.

But Amazon does delete reviews from your mother, friends, or people who are referred by you.

How amazon identifies this is as secret as who killed Kennedy, so don't ask.

One theory is that they are using the "qid" in a link, so make sure that when you review swap that you use "clean" links.

I wrote an entire book about this here:

And Dave Chesson has a really good article about it on Kindlepreneur.com too, check em out!
