Well said Don and you're right, I should have been more clear. So basically, what I see on Amazon and Smashwords is this. Tons of people like me that put up free short stories or non-fiction to gather attention, and get reviews...however in my own experience, and from what I have seen, it is hard work getting little reviews to boost attention. I mean for example, I have a little thing I wrote that will soon have around 500 downloads. Guess how many reviews it has...0
So 500 people read the thing, but did not take the time, like what...two minutes...to write something kind. I have had people seek me out to tell me personally, to friend me on FB, to follow me on twitter or my blog, but not write something.
So I would like to do that for people. As someone earlier suggested, I could just go around randomly reading and writing reviews. However, I would rather form a relationship with the person.

Me and that author are now buds! She came to me and said she had friends and relatives write reviews, but would love it if I could.
You see? So maybe "Review" is not the correct word. I am basically saying I want to go and add a little blurb review, some rating, and w/e else to help people look good, and make better sales of their books..
Why is that so hard to do...I do not get it...I know for a fact people would love more short reviews and ratings...
