Brands sometimes drop a word from their name once they outgrow it, and that appears to be the story behind this address. A request to clipboardhealth.com returns a 301 status and forwards to www.clipboard.com, while the plain http version first bounces to the https address. The new site uses the name Clipboard and frames the business as covering every shift, in healthcare and beyond. Nothing is served on the old name, so for anyone shopping for links the question is not what the site publishes but what the redirect means.
From Clipboard Health to Clipboard
The current homepage headline reads "Every Shift, Covered" and its description speaks of staffing open shifts with vetted professionals across healthcare, education and dental. The old name tied the brand to health care; the new one leaves room for schools and other employers. The about page describes the mission as connecting healthcare and education professionals with the workplaces that need them.
The site does not publish a date or explanation for the rename, so none is offered here. What can be confirmed is the outcome: clipboardhealth.com is still registered, still renewed and permanently pointing at the new brand.
Why ClipboardHealth.com Is Kept Alive
Keeping an old address after a rename is standard practice, and the reasons are practical. Job ads, news stories and partner pages written over several years are likely to still point at clipboardhealth.com. Without the redirect, every one of those links would break, and nurses or facility managers following an old link would reach an error instead of the company. The permanent forward also tells search engines to treat clipboard.com as the successor, so the new brand inherits the old one's standing rather than starting from zero.
For a buyer, that means the strength measured on the old name is being used, just not in a way anyone outside the company can rent.
How the Marketplace Works
Clipboard describes a model in which a workplace posts open shifts, the shifts are shared with qualified workers nearby, and professionals choose which ones to take. That is a version of the gig work model applied to licensed care roles. The homepage lists sectors including long-term care, hospitals, dental, home health, hospice, infusion, nursing and travel, and it mentions call-off coverage if a professional cancels.
The figures the company publishes about itself vary slightly between pages. The homepage body says more than 6,500 workplaces and one million workers in the United States use the service, and claims that 95% of shifts get staffed when posted a day ahead. The about page lists 9 million shifts covered and 6.5 thousand communities served. These are the company's own claims, not independent data, and they are best read as marketing figures rather than audited totals.
The Founder Story on the New Site
The about page carries a note from Wei Deng, founder and co-CEO. She writes that she grew up as the daughter of immigrant parents, that in the earliest days she was the whole company, handling the app, support and billing herself, and that she later earned a CNA certification to understand the work nurses do. The page dates the founding to 2016 and lists values such as a customer-first mindset.
For a profile of clipboardhealth.com, this matters mainly as context. The authority on the old domain was built while the company traded under the health-focused name, and that history now flows to the new brand.
Links Built Under the ClipboardHealth.com Name
The link figures are strong for a redirected domain. There are 1,245 referring domains and 7.4K backlinks, about 6 per domain, with a spam score of 5%. One index counts 4.99K backlinks. Links to a staffing business of this kind usually come from news outlets, healthcare trade press and job sites, which produces a clean, diverse profile.
DA rose over time from 20 to a peak of 40, latest 35, and DR sits at 57, well above DA 35. A DR that high signals that one link model rates the referring sites as authoritative. The registration date of 18 January 2017 makes the domain 9 years, 8 months, 21 days old, held through Amazon Registrar, Inc. until 18 January 2027.
Search Traffic Still Tied to ClipboardHealth.com
Estimates still credit clipboardhealth.com with about 1.03K monthly visits from 986 keywords, roughly 1.04 visits per keyword. Some search results probably still list old URLs while engines finish moving signals to clipboard.com. Over time those numbers should shrink as the destination takes over, which is the expected result of a permanent redirect rather than a decline.
Why a ClipboardHealth.com Guest Post Cannot Be Placed
With every request forwarded, there is no page on the old domain to host an article. Any pitch would go to Clipboard, whose navigation lists a blog, a newsroom, FAQs and support pages. That is company publishing: product news, workforce content and announcements. Nothing on the pages read for this review invites outside writers or describes sponsored posts.
Sellers occasionally market well-linked redirected domains as placement opportunities. On clipboardhealth.com, that claim cannot be true unless the company changes its own setup, which a staffing marketplace has no reason to do. A post on the destination would also be subject to Clipboard's own editorial choices, and the site publishes no process for outside submissions. Ask for a live, indexed example before paying, and use our paid guest post rules to frame the questions.
Reading the ClipboardHealth.com Numbers as a Health-Sector Buyer
DA 35, DR 57, a spam score of 5% and a broad base of referring domains would make a live health site attractive. Here they describe link equity that now serves Clipboard, not a page you can publish on. Their practical value to a buyer is as a benchmark: this is what organic coverage of a real healthcare business looks like.
