How to import from goodreads?
-
Hi!
I’d like to import my goodreads reviews as separate blog posts (if possible, back-dated, but that’s not essential.).
Is this possible?Thanks,
AltheaThe blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

There is no automatic way to do this and I would not advise you to do this at all. If you did that you would create duplicate content across domains so read what Google’s position is here. https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/66359?hl=en
I would create a new post and backlink to my goodreads reviews in it.

Many, many goodreads users maintain external blogs in order to keep more control over their own content, for improved searchability and data management.
Last I checked, google did not own my copyright, nor was syndication of content outlawed.The widget does not accomplish what I want, at all.
I am very surprised that this site does not seem to support CSV imports. Is this actually the case? If so; I’ll simply go elsewhere… Staff? -

We do not have a Goodreads importer at this time. You may wish to post this as a suggestion in the Ideas forum: https://en.forums.wordpress.com/forum/ideas
By the way, timethief was simply giving you a tip concerning search engine behavior and SEO. Google and other search engines heavily penalize duplicate content, so if it finds the exact same content on Goodreads and a blog, the blog may perform poorly in search engine results.
