Want to keep your Amazon review account safe and avoid getting your reviews removed? The key is to make Amazon’s bots think you’re just a normal human reader. Here are some best practices to follow:

Why does Amazon Remove Reviews - learn more

šŸ•’ READING SPEED

  1. When using Kindle Unlimited, flip through the pages at a natural pace—about 30-50 seconds per page—and be sure to reach at least 50% or even safer, get to the last page of the book.

ā³ WHEN TO SUBMIT A REVIEW

  1. When using Kindle Unlimited, wait at least 24 hours after downloading a book before submitting your review, even if it’s a quick read like a children’s book. Never submit a review on the same day you download it!

āœļø REVIEW QUALITY

  1. At Book Bounty, we want our members to receive quality reviews. I mean, I'm sure you want quality reviews for your books, so why not give the same in return? Write a review that’s at least 4 sentences or 40 words long. Mention specific details about the book, and avoid generic comments. Don’t use the book title repeatedly to meet the word count—it needs to be meaningful content.

  2. Never submit 100% AI-generated reviews. Amazon's bots are great at spotting them. Make it your own voice!

  3. Do not use prohibited or overused words: "fake," "authentic," "fraud," "counterfeit", "AI generated"

  4. Avoid superlatives and extreme language ("best," "worst," "amazing")

  5. Don't mention brand names or competitors

  6. Focus on personal experience using "I" statements, never "you"

  7. Write 30+ words with specific details

  8. Don't mention packaging in product reviews

  9. Don't include external links or URLs

  10. Don't copy/paste reviews or use translation tools

šŸ“… NUMBER OF REVIEWS PER WEEK

  1. Limit yourself to no more than 6 unverified reviews per week. Submitting more can look suspicious—even for someone with a lot of time on their hands, it’s not typical behavior.

  2. Limit how many reviews you post in one day. Real people don't usually spend most of their posting reviews. Bots will pick up on strange behavior like this.

šŸ›ļø ACT LIKE A REAL CONSUMER

  1. Purchase ebooks and use your Kindle Unlimited subscription. Amazon likes things they can track to learn your purchasing and reviewing habits.

  2. Do not do too many unverified reviews. The less you do, the better. Amazon does not like things they can not track.

  3. Use your Amazon account for normal shopping now and then. Making regular purchases helps your account look like that of an average consumer.

  4. Mix in some reviews on real product too, it doesn't hurt and it keeps your Amazon account looking natrual.

Amazon’s bot is always on the lookout for unusual behavior. Once your account is flagged, it’s extremely tough to reverse but not impossible if you can get to a real person. Since bots handle disputes and rely on automated responses. There's no arguing with a bot! It’s best to stay under the radar by following these practices and keeping things natural. 😊

We hope this helps your Bounty Hunting Journey!
