nofollow cookieyes branding (SEO)

Hi @drazon,

Greetings from CookieYes!

We understand your point about SEO implications, but after consulting with our team, we’ve concluded that the impact on both our users’ websites and ours is minimal.

CookieYes’s website indeed maintains strong SEO metrics, and the presence of a natural link to our site within the branding won’t significantly harm SEO efforts.

If you have any further questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to let us know.

Well it may be minimal in your case according to your team but it is major on our websites according to our team. In any case even minimal, which you admit, is not acceptable for some people especially when it comes to SEO where people are struggling daily to bring their pages in the SERPS. You may think that forced follow backlinks may give you a boost at the beginning but sooner or later the algorithm will treat your website as it should.

Hi @drazon,

Please check with your team and share your site’s SEO report that indicates the impact of our branding link. It will help us to have more insight into this issue. You can share it privately using this link.

I’m afraid SEO doesn’t work with reports rather with experience and years of training. Try to search for relative or not backlinks and their impact on websites, also the difference between follow and nofollow links. Your link should be nofollow

Hi @drazon,

Thank you for your feedback and for sharing your concerns.

After thorough consideration and consultation with our team, we plan to maintain the current setup where the link is dofollow. This is a standard practice we follow across all CMS and website platforms when our plugin is connected to the web app.

We understand the importance of SEO and the concerns around follow and nofollow links. However, our data suggests that the impact of this link on both our users’ SEO and our own is minimal. We will continue to monitor and evaluate our practices to ensure they align with best practices and user needs.
