 Re: Anyone Still Paying for Reviews ?
No I'm not going to recommend any exchange groups. Simply because AZ is cracking down on them now as will, but this still works, as long as they are 'verified purchases'. Meaning that they actually made the payment through AZ.
I watched people to develop a product to over 100 reviews through one of those groups and than overnight having it all down and seller acct closed. Az normally doesn't close buyer accounts unless there was some gruesome misconduct. In this case even buyer accounts were suspended.
AZ has it's own review services in place called vines, had it for years. But you have to be a registered manufacturer or publishing house with AZ to get access to it. PLz double check on it.
Those vine reviews will be marked 'vines', but keep in mind that those people are hard to please since their job is to find everything that they don't like with your products. In other words you pay a sh*t load of money for 3 star average reviews.
AZ even succeeded in removing all of those 'i'll review ur AZ product' offers from upwork and fiverr.
People still do it as long as they have some brain but it is not cheap and those buyer account that will post reviews better be old aged buyer accounts with history. Otherwise a bunch of first time buyers posting a review on their first purchase will draw AZ attention to those listings.
Now if you want honest, unbiased good reviews and know how to handle 'verified purchaser' part (think AZ gift cards) then PM me.
There also other options like sweepstakes and AZ approved giveaways that will provide the same results (verified reviews) that AZ is totally ok with but it's already another topic and more technical.
That was a lot of typing  hope it answers your questions on AZ reviews. If not just post questions here and one of some will shed some light.
