Is adding reviews to your site using schema structured data markup considered duplicating content?

[mgordon]

A client of mine whats to add reviews from other sites such as Judys Book and Yahoo to their site. (Yes the actual content of what was posted in the review. They are proud of what their clients are saying).

I am not sure if using schema mark up and including the review body on the clients web site was safe or would it be considered duplicate content?

Is there a "good practice" for this?

Any assistance or suggestions are welcomed.

Thanks!

I don't know about Schema, but I'd first check with the terms of service of the review site to see if that is allowed. I do remember looking at this a few years back for a review site and finding out it was against their terms.

Ahh... I didn't even think of that. Good call. I appreciate the feedback.

Just in case anyone else has this question or comes across this hopefully it will help them...

Using the entire review content from 3rd party site on your site even is you are using schema mark up will be considered duplicate content.
