To build better domain authority here are some factors:
> How long the domain has been in use
> The design of the website
> Traffic going to the website and is being updated with new information regularly
> credible links going to your website (a benefit of the new website)
Building Wellness Connects DA will promote practitioners websites with both a credible link and with traffic.
Blog posts. To provide fresh information, and promote practitioners websites we need blog post descriptions (why someone should read this…) and an image.
Blog posts will not be copied from sites because we want to respect your original content.
A great resource for images is unsplash.com and canva.com; a preferred size is 600px x 900px.
Authors will be credited with a bio and a link to the article on their own blog.
