Members will now notice a list of recommendations on the “Search Details†page of some books titled, “Members who rented this title also enjoyed:â€Â This is not your typical list of recommendations. These titles are based not only on their popularity with other members, but their relationship with other titles those members have rented.
It works like this: First it looks at which members rented a specific title (in this case, the Search Details page of the title you are currently on). Second, it looks at all the other titles those members rented in the same genre. Third, it looks at what those member rated those titles. Finally, it weeds out any title you’ve rented, rated, reviewed, or currently have on your list. The final result is a list of titles that were rented and highly rated (typically 4 to 5 starts) by other members who have also rented the title you are currently viewing the Search Details page of.
Now some members might ask, “Why don’t all the titles have these recommendations on them?â€Â The simple answer is, not every title has been rented by other members who have read and rated highly other titles in the same genre (like new releases). Your “My Recommendations†section on our site simply recommends titles that were highly rated by other members in genres from which you have rented titles from. The recommendations on the Search Details page look at who has rented a specific title in a specific genre, then, the other titles those members have read and rated highly in the same genre.
