Using Amazon Product Reviews on my Website
-
Does anyone know if I can use Amazon Reviews for products that I put on Amazon?
I "own" the listing on Amazon because we are the exclusive manufacturers of this product so the review is only referring to products that were sold through our company.
Thanks,

In short, you don't own those reviews even though they are about your product. The reviews were left on Amazon.com, and are therefore the property of Amazon.com.

I don't think I was clear in my question. I want to take the reviews that I have received for my products via Amazon and start populating the reviews on our website for those specific products.
So far on my website I don't have any reviews yet and I would love to get a headstart!
I can't simply cut and paste the reviews that my products have garnered on Amazon?

It appears Mike has given you the answer, but I would offer a suggestion. Even though you are selling it through Amazon, why don't you put review schema on your site so that you begin to gather reviews and assist yourself. At least that way, you may be able to rank along with Amazon for your product as opposed to being always at their service.
Obviously, I do not know your whole business model, but review schema/markup is not difficult at all and you might find it much more advantageous than an Amazon iframe.

Kind of, but only for 24 hours via an iframe: "The reviews response group returns the URL to an iframe that contains customer reviews. You can embed the iframe on any web page to display the response content. Only the iframe URL is returned in the request content." - Product Advertising API
Hope this helps.

Does duplicate content damage ranking in YouTube the same way it does on websites?
I'm asking this question due to the following scenario: When we have videos produced by Third Party video companies they upload the video to their YouTube account before us (the customer), has chance to upload it to ours. If this was an article that was uploaded to the web then the website uploading it first would be classed as the original piece and all other website uploading the article would be considered duplicates and not rank (As I believe). Hence my question, does YouTube work in the same way and hence our videos when searched in YouTube be secondary to our Third Party video companies as they are posting them first? Regards, Tom

Is a website with no images really a good idea?
I have a client who doesn't want to use any images at all on her website. It's a local hvac service provider. This thought has never even crossed my mind before. Who wouldn't want pictures? I know image optimization is important, and my mind keeps telling me that images are important for a good site and good user experience, but are they really necessary? I want a second opinion before I advise against not using any images.
