Yes amazon is cracking down on this so you need to be careful or use the legit review group. Amazon terms of service says it is okay to give your product 100% free to get a review but you cannot pay people to give you reviews. There are groups out there that will review your product. Note though only 40-50% will write a review after getting the product free. Amazon is setting apart the big boys from the small boys. So imagine after given out 100 units of your product you are only guaranteed 40-50% review and the quality of the reviews ?. So your product better be that it says it is. But I think it is safer to go that route.
I just read that Amazon is cracking down on this. Is that true?
