You have a couple options.

1. You can just put a link to the review ... easiest and quickest but it sends your visitors offsite ... you can, however, open the link in a new window so your site sits beneath it:

<a href="http://www.theirdomain.com/their-review.html" target="_blank">text here about the review they will see</a>

2. You can contact the site owner and ask permission to:

a. post some of their reviews as pages on your site, but provide a link back to their site with the article;

b. frame their reviews on your site;

3. Ask the site owner if they have an affiliate program and do any of the above and earn money if people buy from their site

4. You can write your own reviews, keep the people on your site, and any money earned via purchases through your site.

Hope this helps,
Debs

You want to link to a movie trailer on their site? That's their info, if you can't link to the page that brings up the trailer, then you will need to ask the site for permission to link direct to the trailer.

If you link to the trailer directly without permission, it won't be long and your visitors may be surprised by a self-made trailer that says "so and so stole data from suchandsuch.com"

You have to keep in mind, the trailer is owned by them, or used by permission, it is protected under copyright. If you link direct to the trailer, you are stealing their bandwidth and costing them money.

My suggestion? Get permission.
