Rankings

I have read the Netflix blurb on how rankings are formulated. It seems, however, that the "brute force" method of boosting your rating (just review lots of films) seems to be the main factor behind the status of the leaders, and that if you review enough your raking will rise (i.e., fall). What do people think about this? Some Netflix clients have 1000+ reviews.

I think review counts amount to something as well as review click counts. But no one can quantify those things not to mention how many people have picked up a movie from something you've seen or reviewed or listed.; ▶ Reply to This

Copy the URL (http) of that page and post it on your My Page or here. There are lots of people on here that can give you ideas on how to boost your rank.; ▶ Reply to This

You can share notes with them and they will be more likely to look at your reviews (consider them for clicks). (25% of my friends have done so for me.) If you get even 1-3 clicks, your review can keep from getting lost in the backwaters.; ▶ Reply to This
