If Amazon starts penalizing products for fake reviews then it's probably just a matter of time until that's weaponized by competitors to tank competing products. Then I imagine Amazon will have to come out with a "disavow review" tool similar to Google's disavow backlinks (to counteract targeted negative SEO).
- degenerate 9y agoI've been out of the google loop for way too long... I had no idea they introduced a way to disavow backlinks. I logged in to webmaster tools for the first time in 5 years and there's a LOT of new stuff. Thanks for randomly mentioning it. Time to read up on site snippets and structured data...
- r00fus 9y agoWhat's to say that isn't happening now? Seen quite a lot of pseudo positive reviews that are simply advising reader that "another product is better"
- j-c-hewitt 9y agoIt is happening now in fairly large quantities.
