Why does Amazon allow Medialink to astroturf the reviews?

Amazon does not allow it, I think media link was just flying under the radar so far.

If Amazon doesn't start to police the gaming of their reviewing system (which is rampant, IMHO) being done by authors and third party sellers, they may as well stop with the reviews. I've been burned a couple of times by products that have 5 star reviews that ended up in my trash bin upon delivery. Sure, there are good 3rd party sellers out there, but how can I tell the good from the bad? I'm done with 3rd party sellers. It's either Amazon selling it or I don't buy it.

At this point nothing suggests anyone from Amazon is taking action on any of my posts. The removal appears to be automated after someone complains.

You are wrong. Example. Find this product on Amazon. "Maui (Lonely Planet) [Paperback]:" Nine Vine reviewers gave this item from 1 to 3 stars. Others gave it 5 stars. I gave it 3. Amazon doesn't want unhappy customers. Vine reviewers can spot a problem, and make potential buyers aware of it, before they spend their money. Most of the items are good to VG. That's why reviews are generally high. That's also the value in the Vine program.

I must confess it is a bit disturbing to have the company president tracking down bad reviewers in the company database! Rather chilling and kind of Orwellian, don't you think? Also, your statement that OMyGarden has a near perfect record of customer satisfaction is wildly incorrect - on eBay, you have only a 97.2% rating (even mine is 99.2) and on Amazon a whopping 11% left negative feedback, with another 6% leaving only neutral feedback. This does not reflect an acceptable level of customer satisfaction. Perhaps ypur time would be better specnt improving your product and shaping up your customer service department than trolling the web looking for bad reviews and seeking out the reviewers.

Possibly the manufacturer was pumping it with fake reviews, and Amazon found they were all from the same IP address?Just a guess.

We purchase items on Amazon because of the honest variety of reviews. It's worth paying a few extra dollars because the reviews at the company websites are 100% censored.

It is for us to find the right person or department to convey our disgust at being screwed over by Amazon. Most devices don't have a browser hence the only way to get the service is via an App. We need one single forum for this issue. Facebook.............twitter

Unfortunately, Amazon tends to lump reviews together for items that are sold with the same name and by the same company. These are reviews for all the Emojoi mirco-pedi, corded and all battery powered versions. Usually it will say which version the review is for, under reviewer's name. For some reason it's not doing it for this product.

This is the second product I've bypassed in as many days because of reviews from people who got the product for free. Reviewing in exchange for free product is an inherent conflict of interest, no matter how hard the reviewer tries to be objective. At the point compensation is received, it becomes a business and other factors besides helping fellow consumers are in play. So, Amazon, if you are listening, I for one am avoiding products with these reviews because I feel they are not trustworthy (No offense intended, Vine reviewers. Please don't write or call. :). It's a shame because the honest, freely offered community reviews was one of the real advantages to shopping here.

jesus..... people are so ridiculous. You can never get a straight answer about anything on Amazon. Does it click or not? lmao

No, it doesn't, and never has. Amazon consistently puts reviews for one product on the page for another. My company's products are often victims of this practice.

I get a kick out of reading these comments. Two completely different answers. What help is this to the person who asked the question ? Who are they to believe. This happens all over Amazon.

I would agree - most of the reviews look fake. Even really good products get one or two bad reviews. I really wish Amazon had a way or reporting abuse for that type of thing. (This not the only product I've seen this happen with).

I agree, most of the reviews seem to be spam. A dead giveaway is that for most of the reviewers, this is the only product they have reviewed on Amazon.
