How eCommerce Stores Can Best Use Syndicated Reviews


2 Comments
  1. Thank god finally an article on this topic!
    I have been looking into this issue because the only ones providing information are tool providers (bazarvoice & pwerreview mainly), and of course they defend their tool by saying syndicated content is not duplicated content. And how they support their argumentation is a bit light.

    An issue I see is that since google is showing the version with the highest pagerank.
    So if you manage a brand, and that your brand.com is much smaller than your partner.com website (think for instance the website of dior.com vs the one of sephora); your retailer will get the SEO benefit of your review…while your own website gets the downside of being considered as publishing duplicated content. Wdyt about that ?

    • I think that is a likely scenario, but not sure how much “downside” there is to that. For example, I certainly don’t think the brand.com site would suffer any sort of penalty or hit to “quality” in this scenario. Also there is a positive benefit to the Brand overall but maybe the margins aren’t quite as good as selling direct.
