If you are a successful self-published author interested in being discovered by Amazon, I’d suggest you create/brush up your Goodreads page and presence.

At least a portion of the authors that read that will skip over the "successful self-pubished author" part and translate it to:
"Go nuts on Goodreads and Amazon might publish you on one of their imprints!"
Oy.
They will "increase their presence", GR readers will respond negatively, STGRB will make a big deal of that, and it will be Bullygate all over again.
I really, really hope I'm wrong but... Alas, we shall see.
There are many authors I interact with and love dearly, but their unrestrained and less professional brethren make me seriously annoyed.
