Reviews Duplicate Issue
-
Hi,
I have one query,
Can we use the reviews displayed in one website to other website. I mean
I have one product and has different websites for that.
Can i use the reviews that i got in one of my website in my other website. Will it bring any duplicate content issue?
Also one more question
for example, consider i am running a review website, can i list the reviews that has been displayed in different websites to my review websites . Whether it will bring any copyright issue?

If the use of the reviews is for the purpose of user experience there are review aggregates that will share reviews between two domains without placing them in the source code. This will leave out duplicate content penalties and it will not have any effect on SEO. Since the reviews will not be in the code, there will be no positive or negative SEO effects. Yotpo is an aggregate that displays reviews like an RSS feed, and it leaves them out of the source code.

Jarno is correct is using canonical tags on the same URL. However to me the way your question is phrased seems that you will be using content from different domains which would have no impact on your duplicate content if the domains are unique.
Feel free to contact help@moz.com if you need any follow up!

Hi,
If I get what you are asking then you will be facing duplicate content issues unless you use a canonical tag stating where you get the reviews from. So for instance if you have product A on websites Z, Y and X (hopefully every site has it's own unique content for the product or you'll be facing duplicate content issues right away).
If you get reviews on Z you want to use them on X and Y
If your get reviews on X you want to use them on Z and Y
etc.I think you can use canonical tags pointing in the direction you get the information from but I am not sure it will do the trick. Maybe there is a widget of plugin for the site that gets the reviews from a review site and shows them on the other sites? That might be a lot better and a lot less complicated. Or just keep the reviews at each site. But that is just stating the obvious.

What is the best online reputation management software for generating legitimate Google (and other online) reviews?
Hello! Does anyone have a good experience with using an online reputation management tool to help generate online reviews for a Google My Business listing, Facebook, etc? The reason I ask about a review software is because of my client's age demographic (50+), so we need to have an automated system to request reviews from their clients and to make it simple for them to leave reviews.

New building ownership and NAP - strategies for removing old listings with bad reviews
I have a question based on this scenario: An apartment building changes ownership. Previous owners were terrible and online listings have had terrible reviews. Since the apartment building now has a new brand name, new office address and phone number, the new owners want to create new online listings instead of claiming the old listings with the bad reviews. Also they want to report the old listings as "closed". They would like to remove the old listings with bad reviews from the old management and old brand name and start fresh, since they plan many improvements. Has anyone tried this strategy? How much luck has anyone had rebranding an apartment building and reporting old business listings as closed?

Google Local Reviews : Creating a Recipricol Reviewing Network
Hi All! I recently came across an invitation for a group on Facebook (created by an internet marketer likely trying to drum up business) that is designed to get a bunch of business professionals to leave reviews for each other (not knowing each other or having worked with one another in any way) in an attempt to build good review profiles on Google local for all. Obviously this is frowned upon, but is it actually dangerous at this point? Are there filters or methods Google has to identify and punish businesses for this type of activity? As someone who always tries to do the right thing, it makes my skin boil when the scammers in our industry use manipulative tactics like this and even more annoyed when they actually work! Look forward to any specific info you all have on this. -Ricky

Why ratings (no. of reviews & stars) still not showing in search results?
We implemented Schema and submitted the pages (with actual ratings and reviews) to Google Webmaster's Structured Data Markup tool a few weeks ago, but the ratings (stars and no. of reviews) are not showing yet. How long do I need to wait? TIA!
