Is possible to reutilize products description taken from mydomain.com in a ecommerce site?

[polidistillerie]

My issue is related with cross-domain duplicate content.

In the first domain (aaa.com) I have 30-40 products well described with lots of content (story, description, features, technical sheets etc). This is my primary, brand domain.

I want to open an e-commerce in another domain (bbb.com) where I will sell all the products that reside in aaa.com domain.

If I'm going to use the content (taken from aaa.com) for describing e-commerce products in the bbb.com domain could it be seen as duplicate content?

What do you suggest? It would be a hell to rewrite all the products description and even worse, technical sheets and features/characteristics can't be written differently.

Thanks in advace

Hello William,

In the future it would be best to start a new thread for your own question, but this time I will answer this here since it is related to the one above.

Yes, you should use a cross domain rel canonical tag, as it could be harming BOTH sites to have that duplicate content out there. You could rewrite the titles and descriptions for one or the other, but I would not rely on Google to "know" which one you want to rank without harming the other.

Yes it could and probably would be seen as duplicate content.

You could rewrite the content, block one domain from being indexed, or use a cross-domain rel canonical tag. The first solution is the only one that will allow both domains to rank simultaneously.

I currently am in exactly this situation and I too would love to hear an answer.

I think google knows my two domains are linked and all rankings for the keyword for one domain have dropped off. Which I obviously expect. Is this harming both sites ranking?

Should some sort of cross domain canonicalization be used?
