Default Review excerpts, bad for SEO? Help please :(

Hi everyone!

I have a few product reviews for Amazon products - about 1000 words written by me. At the end of the review I usually add a short copy-pasted review from Amazon with a link to see the full review on Amazon.

My question is, is this bad for SEO? Will Google see this as duplicate content and penalize me? Should I spin these reviews or remove them entirely?

Thank you everybody Love this forum, btw!

It's definitely better if you change the words around a bit.

Do you have a BuildMyRank account, but are getting bored to tears writing the posts? Or worse yet, you're not writing them at all?

It shouldnt matter if you use all in one seo plugin or similar one that creates canonical tag.

I don't see your point. If she includes a short copy of an Amazon review in her page, it's not gonna change something in the canonical.

If it's a short extract of the review, maybe you could use the <blockquote cite="http://amazon.com/the-review-page.html"> tag and link it to the original source.

N2Clic is a good web agency that also offer SEO services.

It may affect your position in search result. You should rewrite the reviews by your own words.
