You want to rank high on Google and you want students to find your profile page, correct? By populating your profile page with lots of content, you can attract more students to your page.
Additionally, by reverse-linking our logos from your website back to your YAP profile page, you can increase your websites visibility on Google (we have guides on how to do add the logo on to Wix, Weebly and Wordpress).
So, why should you link out from your website?
1. It Makes Your Site a More Valuable, Scalable Resource
You want your website to link to good quality websites which have a lot of traffic, such as the YAP website. Our website’s trust & value can be algorithmically mined by search engines to produce better search results.
2. Linking Out Incentivises Links In
Websites that earn links do a good job of linking out themselves. When you link out, it creates a signal to other websites and content creators that you are a willing participant in the web’s natural linking environment.
3. Linking Out Encourages Positive Participation & Contribution
When you link out, especially in a consistent ‘content’ way, you build incentives for bloggers, social media participants and online journalists to engage with your site. The incentive is small but it definitely brings value.
3. Prove You're A Member Of Yoga Alliance Professionals
Show the world that you are accredited and that you meet our high standards!
