How could 1 person buying cds do that? You can only leave 1 review per purchase. That only works if multiple people buy the same cd and even then, it would not hit the limit.

You have a "best sellers" category, so I assume they're targetting that(?)

Literally no one on Earth cares about the current value of the best seller rank of a used CD for some random 80s band.

The whole SEO spammer idea for used music CDs doesn't pass the smell test. There's only a few copies available to buy for most used CDs anyway (if you're lucky), so there's no way to pull off the scam.
