Domain Creation: 7/20/2018 (registered through 7/20/2020) No weekly eblasts. About 9/15/2018 Backlinks set from https://1stinsightcommunications.com (Domain Authority 23) 10/19/2018 Linked to my LinkedIn account: https://www.linkedin.com/in/david-smith-37b51613/ 10/31/2018 Updated domain registration address, Created first Google Blogger post linked back to https://MarketingDepartmentLV.com. 11/1/2018 Updated and linked Google My Business; Updated and linked Google Plus, both to https://MarketingDepartmentLV.com 11/13/2018 Fixed SSL issues with Really Simple SSL Plugin to make both sites fully SSL compliant. 11/27/2018 Re-optimized images; Re-authenticated site with Google through Yoast SEO plugin
General Observations
11/16/2018: Domain authority on both sites rose from 8 to 9. However domain authority on the highest backlink site https://1stinsightcommunications.com also rose from 23 to 24. This leads me to suspect that the domain authority increase was more due to the age of the 3 sites than any SEO activity.
