We have finally completed the full analysis regarding everything that happened over the last weeks with Amazon review moderation and removals. This analysis required days of extremely intense work because we didn’t want to rely on assumptions or isolated cases. We analyzed: • the structure and purchase history of the Amazon accounts used by our users • reviewer behavior patterns and review frequency • the types of reviews being posted • and how all of this correlated with the type and frequency of reviews received by authors on their books And now we are finally able to provide much clearer conclusions. And honestly, the results are better than we expected. First of all, all the recommendations we shared previously remain absolutely valid. So: • do not post more than one review within less than 36 hours • ideally, allow 48 hours between reviews whenever possible But we also discovered something very important. After analyzing all the affected cases, it became extremely clear that the more an Amazon account behaves like a real customer account, especially through frequent physical product purchases, the more tolerance Amazon seems to allow toward occasional unverified review activity. On the other hand, when an Amazon account was created mainly for posting reviews, or shows very little real activity besides ebook purchases and reviews, the problems appear almost exclusively when posting: • Free Promo reviews • Kindle Unlimited reviews • Standard Unverified reviews So if you created an Amazon account mainly to participate in BookVillage, my recommendation is very simple: Use that account in the same marketplace where you can also make real physical purchases. For example, many users live in the UK but choose to post reviews mainly on Amazon.com. In most cases, you will likely have a much stronger trust score posting directly on Amazon.co.uk, because that is where your real customer activity naturally happens. However, if you still want to continue posting reviews on a marketplace where your activity consists mostly of ebook purchases and reviews, then my recommendation is equally clear:

What do you think is the best way to test a book cover, or even several title variations, before publishing? Do you know any platforms, tools, or methods that are genuinely useful for running solid A/B tests and getting high quality feedback?

Guys, most likely within the next 48 hours I will announce the only practical solution to delegate your assignments so you can receive very high-quality reviews on BookVillage, saving valuable time and still at relatively low costs. Access to the beta test will be offered at a particularly discounted price and will be available only to 10 of you for now. This way we can understand whether you like it. As for whether it works well, we have no doubts. The goal is simply to see if it’s something we can offer publicly.
