Resource pages for backlinks, who knew?

[Keystone]

So I just stumbled onto resource page link building and I am hype. Like seriously, finding legit resource pages is easier than I thought. Scraped some niche directories, then used a tool to find who already linked to similar stuff. Outreach? Short and sweet, just ask to be included, no BS. Got a few placements already, CR shot up like crazy. Think this is gonna be my new favorite. Anyone else try this? How do you pick the best resource pages? Feeling like a newb but hey, it works. Track it or trash it. Love finding cheap, white hat tactics that actually move the needle.

Resource page link building? Sure, it works, but don't kid yourself. Most of those pages are already maxed out and the moment you ask to be included, they see right through it

Short and sweet, just ask to be included, no BS

haha, yeah, that part always sounds easy in theory, right? in practice, some of those resource pages are like fortresses, and just asking to be included can get you ghosted or flagged. but if you got lucky and it works for you, more power. just don't fall for the trap of thinking it's a silver bullet, most of those pages are already saturated and jaded. i'd say, keep the outreach tight, make it personal, and don't get lazy with follow-ups. otherwise, you'll just burn bridges and waste time. but hey, if it moves the needle, it's worth trying. just don't get cocky and assume every page is as open as your first few wins.

OH MY SWEET SUMMER CHILD, resource pages might seem like a gold mine but don't get too excited. Scraping niche directories and asking to be included? That's like trying to fish with a paperclip and hoping for a whale. Most of those resource pages are buried under spam and dead links already. If you reaaally want to move the needle, you gotta build real relationships or create your own assets worth being linked to.

Resource pages? Yeah, they work until they don't. I've chased that shiny trail before and ended up with a handful of dead links and a crushed CR. Honestly, most of those resource pages are like the early access beta of a SaaS, already maxed out, spammed to death and not worth the effort. The trick is less about asking to be added and more about finding ones with legit, high LTV links, which usually means digging into niche forums, community hubs, and paying close attention to the sites your whales are already linking to. Scraping niche directories is cool but don't forget the real juice comes from quality over quantity. If you're just hoping to get in on a list with a thousand other links, you might as well be throwing darts blindfolded. Track your placements, sure but also watch those CRs, bounce rates, and eventual traffic spikes. White hat is good, but not all resource pages are created equal. Some are just dead weight, others can push your whole campaign into the stratosphere. Be strategic, pick your battles, and don't get blinded by the promise of easy wins. Shaving those CACs down is all about smart moves not wishful thinking.

If you reaaally want to move the needle, you

Honestly I think summit is missing the point a bit. If you niche down and find legit resource pages that still accept submissions or links, it can work. Yeah, most are maxed out or spammed but not all. It's about finding those hidden gems that still want to add value and not just linking out to every piece of junk. Not every resource page is dead or spam, you gotta be selective and make it about quality, not quantity.

 

[Girder]

resource pages can be a hit or miss. i've seen some legit ones still accepting links, but most are just overrun with spam. you gotta dig deep, find those niche-specific ones that aren't so maxed out. scraping and outreach still works if you hit the right ones, but don't expect every shot to land. track it, see what sticks, trash what doesn't. if you keep at it, you'll find a few gold mines that actually move the needle. just don't get lazy and rely on the same old ones, always be testing new ones

OH MY SWEET SUMMER CHILD, resource pages might seem like a gold mine but don't get too excited. Scraping niche directories and asking to be included.

Summit, you got it backwards. Resource pages are dead if you just scrape and ask. Gotta find the ones that are not spammed out, niche specific, still accepting links

 

[Delta]

yeah, my last resource page push was like trying to fill a bucket with a hole. sure, some still accept links, but most are just dead or spammed. its like looking for a needle in a haystack that already got burned down.

 

[Chisel]

oof, sounds like you found the sweet spot with resource pages, huh? i swear, if you know where to look and keep it tight with outreach, it's surprisingly still workable. the key is really those hidden gems, not just the obvious spammy spots. gotta be ready to sift through a lot of junk tho, which is the annoying part. tracking? yeah, if it moves the needle, keep tabs. if not, trash it. gl with the hunt, it's a grind but worth it if you find those legit spots that stick

Resource pages for backlinks, who knew

bro, who knew? come on, resource pages are ancient and kinda spammy if not done right. a lot of folks still chasing those links but they're not the magic bullet they used to be. if you want legit juice, gotta look for contextually relevant stuff and not just any old resource page. it's about quality over quantity, especially now. don't get caught up thinking all resource pages are gold. some are dead or full of spam, and google's wising up. gotta be smarter than just scraping the top of the pile

 

[Garrison]

Look, resource pages are a gamble. Yeah, some still have juice but most are tired and overdone. The thing is, backlinks from resource pages only matter if they're relevant and actually get clicks. Otherwise, they're just dead weight. Most people chasing resource pages are wasting time on the old-school stuff that doesn't move the needle anymore. Better to focus on building relationships with real editors or getting contextual links in legit content. Resource pages are a quick hit, but that's just not scalable, especially if you're trying to keep CPA in check.

Resource pages for backlinks, who knew

Bro, who knew that chasing resource pages for backlinks is like trying to find a needle in a haystack with a magnet made of spaghetti. It's an old tactic that got overused and spammy fast. If you're still banking on those for real juice, you're probably wasting time and budget. You gotta focus on contextually relevant placements and actual engagement. Otherwise you're just tossing links into the void and wondering why your rankings look more like a clown car than a legit site.

 

[Hook]

Resource pages can still be worth it if you find legit ones and do some outreach, but most are just dead links now. Overdone and spammy is right but not completely useless if you know how to pick the right ones. Most just chase easy wins and wonder why CVR stays trash. Been there, burned that.

 

[Dividend]

if resource pages are so dead and spammy, why do I still see some folks pulling real juice from them while others get nothing but dead links and wasted time?

 

[Cascade]

That's a good one. But just my two cents, maybe the reason some folks still pull real juice from resource pages is because they don't treat it like a 'set it and forget it' play. Maybe they actually do legit outreach, find those hidden gems, and build real relationships. The data 'tells' the story that quality over quantity still rules, right? So my question is, are most people chasing easy wins or actually putting in the work to find the legit resource pages that haven't been spammed into oblivion?

 

[Whet]

The data 'tells' the story that quality over

counterpoint: the data 'tells' a story that quality over quantity wins. but if you ask me, a lot of that quality is subjective. what one calls a hidden gem another calls dead. show me the metrics that prove a resource page is worth the outreach, not just gut feeling. smh.

 

[Cyclone]

see, I get the sentiment, but all this talk about 'quality' being subjective is a cop out. let the numbers talk. if a resource page consistently sends traffic or link juice that correlates with better rankings or conversions, then its worth it. don't get caught up in the 'hidden gem' myth, because hidden doesn't mean valuable. most of those so-called gems are just spaghetti at the wall or dead links with a fresh coat of paint. the real trick is to automate the vetting process - scrape, analyze the metrics, look for signals like domain authority, traffic, backlink profile, engagement. if those numbers line up, it's not subjective. sure, outreach helps, but if you wanna save time, focus on the data that shows a resource page's true potential. you wanna chase real juice? let the data tell you where the 'hidden gems' actually produce results. otherwise, you're just throwing spaghetti against the wall and hoping.

 

[Bolt]

honestly i think this whole resource page obsession is overblown. yeah, some are still decent if you do legit outreach, but most of the ones you see in tiered link setups are just spam farms or dead ends. people chase the wrong metrics, like just link count or page authority, instead of looking at actual relevance and traffic. google's helpful content update made this clear. content quality and user intent matter more than ever. resource pages are just a part of the puzzle, not the main event. spend time finding those niche-specific sites with real engagement, not just throwing up some generic resource page and hoping for the best. you're overthinking it if you think resource pages alone are gonna make or break your rankings
