Join our Strategic Link Building Program: An invitation to all Practice Groups IACP’s new Strategic Link Building Program will result in improved search engine ranking as well as improved online awareness for your website along with all other Collaborative Practice websites. Practice Groups have the opportunity both to benefit from all of the professional expertise being invested and to contribute to our community’s success in this effort. We are asking for your help in creating the “global chain” which will link all of our websites, increase everyone’s visibility on the internet and provide all of us with the improved search engine results we seek. It’s simple to accomplish, costs you nothing and will be of tremendous benefit to the global presence of Collaborative Practice everywhere. By joining, you will be linked with IACP’s content-rich site along with all other Practice Groups choosing to participate in the Strategic Link Building Program. Practice Group leaders have been contacted and provided with information about how to participate. Check your Practice Group website. If you don’t see an IACP link, speak with your Practice Group leadership about joining in.
