I need to use content from a testimonials page of another site, but I don't want to be caught for duplicate content.Is there something I can do to tell google that the div where the content is is using content from another external page?
How to use same content from another site without getting a penalty for duplicate content?
duplicate content
When using content from other sites you can use <blockquote> and <cite>, one of my customers had a similar case to yours, they wanted to use external reviews on TrustPilot, by using blockquote, cite and Schema they have not experience any droppings in rankings.You can view the code in action by visiting their site and viewing the source on any of their product pages. Here's the code with Schema itemprop=review:<blockquote itemtype=http://schema.org/Review itemscope itemprop=review>    <h3 itemprop=name>Excellent Service</h3>    <div itemtype=http://schema.org/Rating itemscope itemprop=reviewRating>        <meta content=1 itemprop=worstRating>        <p><span itemprop=ratingValue>5</span>/<span itemprop=bestRating>5</span> Stars</p>    </div>    <p itemprop=description>Write the testimonial here</p>    <footer>        <cite>            <a href=http://example/testimonial-link itemprop=author>Testimonial by John Doe</a> &ndash; <meta content=2013-21-01 itemprop=datePublished>21 January 2014        </cite>    </footer></blockquote>Awhile back I made a online video tutorial, how to use external reviews without punishment and getting those glittering stars in Google search results. If you want stars then Schema review is what you want, otherwise just use blockquote and cite without any additional markup.Here is the code without Schema:<blockquote>    <p>Write the testimonial here</p>    <footer>        <cite>            <a href=http://example/testimonial-link itemprop=author>Testimonial by John Doe</a> &ndash; <meta content=2013-21-01 itemprop=datePublished>21 January 2014        </cite>    </footer></blockquote>
