Tagging is changing a lot of that, Stacy. But you have to be friends with the reviewer first. Hopefully, they seek you out first or vice versa.

Benjamin, thanks. I'm working hard to give thoughtful reviews and, yeah, I'd appreciate the traffic. So . . . while a hand-written card would be nice, I just want more traffic. Also, networking online is what's keeping me moving, so again, just send traffic.

<p>Stacy: One way i catch these reviews is by creating an alert on Google, using key words and phrases, such as your name, title of the books, etc. I don't catch everything, but I am always surprised what Google snags.</p>
<p>I don't send thank you notes to revierss that pop up on Amazon, B&N and others such sites. However, It has been help on this thread to see what other authors do regarding requested and unrequested reviews on blogs and related web sites.. Thanks.</p>

<p>I've thanked one or two on Facebook but the thing is that now reviewers don't tell you when they post a review so you don't even know it's up unless you Google. If I know the reviewer and they gave me a good review and I happen to see them online, I thank them and tell them I am glad they enjoyed the book. But like I said, reviewers now don't even let you know when they've reviewed something. Even the reviewers you've talked to beforehand about reviewing don't even let you know when it's…</p>

Most times I luck up on a review of my books.Also, reviewers take months or even a year to review a book and by that time, I don't even remember they were supposed to review it. LOL!</p>

<p>Or in any scenario, not just this one. Hand-written thank you cards will hang on the fridge or sit on the shelf for months. An e-mail or posting loses its effect in about an hour.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Still, sending traffic to a reviewer's site is why the reviewer did it in the first place. It's a good idea to do both print and electronic methods.</p>

<p>In this day and age, there are few things more potent than a hand written thank you card or note, mailed, using an actual, honest-to-God stamp.</p>

<p>I believe it is more impressionable than an e-mail or posting.</p>

I always send an email thank-you, and for a particularly good review, I usually send a card, too. So few people still send real mail, that it seems to make an extra impression -- and I definitely want them to remember who I am when my next book comes out. So far I've stayed away from posting a thank-you comment in the review post. It just doesn't feel right, somehow. And definitely wouldn't do it if the review was bad.
