Weblinks Subcommittee

---

Spreading the message of recovery from food addiction through the online community

The Weblinks Subcommittee is responsible for making the international online community aware of FA’s existence. The committee reaches out to colleges, medical communities, and various other websites/organizations to request the FA website be listed as a resource on their website. Weblinks also utilizes Google Analytics and AdWords data to track “click-throughs” to the FA website and works with the Office and Website Committees to make the FA website as welcoming as possible.

Ways to do service with the Weblinks Subcommittee:

• Email websites about FA (30 mins a week)
• Check FA backlinks (links we already have) to see if they are still valid (30 mins a week)
• If you happen to see a website where you would like the FA link to be included, send the website URL to weblinks@foodaddicts.org and someone will reach out to them by email about FA.
