Duplicate Content via a product feed & data

[bwfc77]

We have uniquely created all of our product content on our website (Titles, product descriptions, images etc).

However, we are also a manufacturer of these products and supply to a number of trade customers. These customers often wish to setup their own websites to re-sell these products. In the past we have quite happily given this content in order to assist our customers sell on their sites. Generally we give them a 'data dump' of our web data and images, but reading about duplicate content this will lead to the search engines seeing lots of identical content on these customer sites.

Whilst we wish to support our customers we do not want to harm our (and their) site by issuing lots of duplicate content around the web. Is there a way we can help them with the data without penalizing ourselves?

The other issue is that we also take this data feed and use it to sell on both Amazon & Googlebase. Will using this identical data also rank as duplicate content as a quick search does show both our website and amazon product page? When creating Amazon listing do these need to vary from the standard website descriptions?

Thanks

As long as the content is found on your website first before anything else you should be ok with the panda update.

Regarding the datafeed and resellers or affiliates, its just the way it is, they run the risk of being flagged with duplicate content.

There cats and sub cats should contain unique content then its up to them to either block Google from the duplicate content pages which will 99% of the time be product pages, which means know long tail keyword terms or roll with it and combat it with different SEO methods.

Far as I can see there is know work around, what your describing is a overall problem for all resellers and affiliates.
