But don’t simply assume that the Amazon review model will work on every site – it doesn’t. The way these reviews and ratings affect purchasing behaviour varies dramatically based on a number of factors, from consumer demographics and product type/value to the position of the rating/review on the site and, of course, the quality of the reviews.
