can i make some one to review my game if i offer something?

i heard that a game was giving 5 solutions to his game free if the user will leave a 5 star review, is this possible with game salad or even allowed by iTunes?

You can give away codes and request people leave an honest review. You just cannot give the code in exchange for a review. I know sounds like the same thing but it's not. Also yeah you can make it free for a couple days.

My experience with reviews is a decent game will get some reviews but to get a lot of reviews you need to have a great game or a complete !@#$% game that is so bad People are actually compelled to warn others.

What a lot of developers do is have a prompt after the user has sampled the game that says something like "Enjoying playing {name}? Rate it 5 stars!". this is a link that takes you straight to the review page. Another trick is to say something like "rate this game 5 stars to keep the updates coming!" in the product description. It's a subtle way of saying I need you to rate my game well or I'm going to stop supporting it!

Finally, the most effective trick is not legal and very costly... it involves using bots / farms / chinese kids to create "artificial" downloads and rate the game 5-stars. This both gets the game up in the rankings as well as reviews it well to entice "organic" users.

Didn't apple recently change how promo codes work that you cannot give a review if you receive a free token? This was to prevent fake reviews.
