If you could have a great site link back to your website how would you do it
Hi everyone, a bit about me. I'm a pipeline td for a VFX company (basically a glorified IT position).

When I was studying this in college, I created two websites, one is a personal website, colinvfx.com, and the other is my student website.

For my coding assignments in school, I used software to automatically generate html for my code for all my assignments. It worked great EXCEPT I made a really big mistake. When I did all this, I unknowingly gave the professors website tons of dead links. Because his website is well established and has great page authority, those dead links rank higher than my actual website on Google when you search for me! What a disaster!

Thankfully, I messaged the teacher and he told me I can resubmit all my old files and he'll update the web-server. So I now have a really cool opportunity.
If I do this right, I can resubmit my schoolwork to his website, a website that has excellent age and page authority and juice links, and link from those student pages back to my portfolio site!

Here's what I was thinking of doing to maximize this opportunity. Please let me know if this is off-base or if there's anything I can do to improve my idea:
(Preface: I use Wordpress for my personal site)
1. Create a new wordpress website locally and just test to make sure the documentation links all work
2. Install Yoast plug-ins on my WP website and make sure all pages rank well for SEO
3. Add any additional metadata to make sure Google entries for these pages will look good
4. Link from my student page on my teacher's website to my personal website basically any way I possibly can that isn't spamming
5. Get a SEO boost!

Thank you for any help or guidance you can give
