What Amazon Says About Search
https://sellercentral.amazon.com/gp/help/help-page.html?itemID=10471
Search is the primary method customers use to locate products.
Views for a product detail page can increase significantly by adding
just one additional search term.
Price, availability, selection and sales history help determine where
products appear in search results.
Better-selling products tend to be at the beginning of a results list.
As your sales of a product increase, so does your placement.

What Does Amazon Say About Reviews?
You may
request
reviews
from a buyer
Any attempt to
manipulate
reviews is
PROHIBITED
Things That Will Get You Into Trouble
You MAY NOT write reviews for products in which you have a
financial interest!
You MAY NOT ask a buyer to remove or edit negative reviews!
You MAY NOT only ask for positive reviews!
You MAY NOT provide compensation for a review other than a free
or discounted product!
Think Reviews Matter?
