I have just finished writing a unique 5-600 word review about a specific vacuum cleaner. The manufacturer has an advertising video for this particular item on Youtube which I would like to add at the end of my review.

With so many threads on WF about having unique content on your website, how does Google react to having videos on your website that belong to someone else, even though permission has been given through the Creative Commons License?

After all, it's not unique content is it?

    If a video is shared it means it's viral and not duplicate content. There is a big difference between sharing a video and plagiarizing text.

    Google won't slap you for sharing a YouTube video. It's what they want you to do as long as it's relevant to your campaign.

    Robg1,

    Smodha makes a good point. Embedding videos from youtube does not fall under the duplicate content umbrella. As long as you have permission to use it in the way that you are, you will be fine.

    In case you were wondering, google’s duplicate content guidelines,
