How to Spot Fake Amazon Reviews

July 19, 2022 by Anne S

Fake Amazon reviews are a dime a dozen. Mind you, these are hard to spot, especially with about 42% of reviews on Amazon are fake or “incentivized”.

Some Amazon sellers buy fake reviews to boost their product rankings and even attract buyers in the process. It is also quite easy to get a fake review for your product.

An example would be a positive rating from a made-up user account, which used to be common. Another way for a product to get a fake review is to pay multiple users to write about the product without purchasing or using it firsthand.

On the other hand, some real shoppers give honest, but glowing reviews in exchange for products, discounts, and even gifts – these are called incentivized reviews.

The most important question is, how to spot fake Amazon reviews? We are going to explore that in a while.

Amazon Drones: Automated Convenience That’s Energy Efficient?

February 13, 2014 by David Glenn

When Amazon.com announced recently that it was planning to make deliveries by drones by 2015, it created quite a stir. How will it work? How will the drone find my apartment? Will my e-reader get left out in the rain? How much power would it take to carry large packages?

The details on how drone automated delivery would work are somewhat sketchy right now. The proposed vehicles have a range of 10 miles and can carry weights up to 5 pounds, which includes 86% of Amazon’s packages. But the 10-mile range would no doubt limit deliveries to big cities. And even then, an MIT professor pointed out that the drones don’t have enough battery life to go 10 miles with a 5-pound package.
