THE Group for Authors! discussion

I was wondering why my books aren't showing up in the Recommendations page, and why they don't have a "Readers Also Liked" tab in the right-hand corner like other books. I asked this question about half a year ago, and was told that I needed a) more readers, b) more genre tags.

My book now has 700 ratings, 200 text reviews, and a number of genre-specific tags (54- Young Adult; 52- Horror; 33- Dark). ETA: this book



I've also noticed that books with far fewer ratings than mine show up in the Recommendations pages. So I'm curious why it isn't working....

Do you only show up in the Recommendations page if you pay for advertising? :/

You beat me hands-down. However, three of my books are in the top 2% of the Amazon.com bestseller list, and nothing is ever mentioned anywhere.
Mysterious ways...

Hi Nenia,

So, I've looked into this a bit and confirmed that our Recommendations engine is aware of Fearscape. It doesn't look like there's a lot of venn-diagram overlap of books for it yet, but by making a test shelf based on these two books:

I was able to get your book to appear in the recommendations for that shelf.

Okay! Thank you so much for your time!

I'm glad to have the answer. :)

Can we all hope for a place on the list now ... :-)
