The number of reviews dated May 18 and the similar use of glowing language in the reviews might be cause to question the objectivity of many of the writers.

This book will get you started and keep you focused. Getting your prodct online is not easy and without consistent work, your presence can fade away into the web's black hole.

This is a basic book that will turn you in the right direction and keep you on your business path.

This review is from: Get Paid For Who You Are (Paperback)

A Point on Pattern: I have not read this book, so I am not reviewing the content. I only want to point out the unusual time clustering of many of the glowing reviews. If I were looking for suspicious patterns in book reviews, I would consider multiple reviews with extreme values (hi or lo) given within a narrow time period as reason for caution. Furthermore, the topical nature of the book is reason to issue a cautionary flag to potential reader.
