Do Argyle Links Impact My SEO/Brand?

Tuesday, August 24, 2010 at 2:59PM

The quick answer is "no". The detailed answer is "no and here's why:"

We use 301 redirects to route traffic through Argyle to your target site. This basically means that if someone puts an Argyle link to your site on their site, you'll still get all the SEO benefits of it. It will be as if they had actually put a link to your site directly into their site. 301 redirects are the SEO-friendly way to do redirects per our friends at Google.

If you're still worried - then consider that Twitter, Facebook, and other social platforms have "no-follow" attributes on their site, meaning that any link on their respective platforms have no influence over the target site's search engine rank. So anything that publish to a social site will not get any SEO juice anyway.

With regards to your brand name - you can customize the domain. It is really easy to set up and a great way to make sure that your name stands out in your URLs.

As much as we love ar.gy, we'd rather see you use yourdomain.me. :)

Oh Yeah. We Have A Blog.

Thursday, August 19, 2010 at 10:12AM

I caught myself saying "Oh yeah. We have a blog." to Adam last week in recognition of our semi-failed social media marketing efforts over the past few weeks.

So I figured I'd take a few minutes to jot down the latest from the Argyle Command Center.

Adam, Mike, and I were in Charlotte for Social Fresh earlier this week. Adam was great on a panel with representatives from Radian6, HubSpot, and WebTrends. (Good company if you ask us!) We reconnected with some friends and made lots of new ones. And Mike coined the phrase "rabid wolverine" to describe a marketing approach.
We're still coding away on our forthcoming Social Media Goals release. The feature is "done", but it isn't quite "ready" - so we decided to hold off for a couple weeks. We'll release it to a handful of customers soon and will make it available to all shortly thereafter.
We're revving our site - nothing Earth-shattering, but lots of minor changes that add up to a fairly significant improvement. See the new Argyle Social customers page as an example.
We're spending a lot of cycles on other super-secret projects. Details soon.

Much love.

Eric
