Companies ask website owners to remove negative reviews (these can be damaging)
Without something foundational / proof, it's fairly hard to see how it could be legal to write negative reviews, and expect them to always "stick"
Written defamation is libel, if you are the owner of the website where the comment has been added, and you are asked are to remove the comment... most of the time, you will (you don't want to be taken to court)
There is no conspiracy here, negative comments on large sites will sometimes get asked to be removed
So... just count the number of positive comments

Dear XXXXXXX,
Our site allows users to post questions, answers, and reviews on the products they purchased. Let's face it, if you have to buy something important, you'd want to get the opinions of those who already own it.
Well, as the owner of the products below, we would love your honest feedback on each of the items you purchased.
Ditch TigerDirect for Newegg.What really chaps me:
I get spammed with these continuously after I make a purchase. But I know they don't really want my honest feedback. Hell, they wont post my honest feedback. What they really want is my positive feedback. So stop spamming me asking for my honest feedback when you have no interest in honest feedback TD!
Kind of ticks me off!
But I cannot see how any review could ever be construed as libel. They are solicitations for the end users opinion.
