I make a living writing and also do web business.

As I scan this thread one thought comes out -- anything you read is reviewable.

Anything you review can be directly quoted.

When I am writing a page that is clearly about something that others know more about than me, I quote and reference and link.

In essence, if my page is clearly me talking, and clearly someone else talking (with quotes and a reference link), then it is perfectly OK to use and reference content, even if your page
promotes YOUR products.

It helps if your site as a whole is clearly original and looks that way from the gitgo.

Best, S
