Hey all, so I was messing around with my site, right? And I found this totally random resource page that lists stuff like guides and tools. Thought hey, maybe I can get a backlink from there? So I reached out, offered to add my own tool to the list, and BAM, got a link. Felt like I cracked the code or something. Anyone else try resource page link building? Works for you or just luck?

Just Hit Gold with Resource Page Links!
Yeah I mean, resource pages can be good but I wouldn't bet the farm on them. If you just reach out cold and offer your tool, it's hit or miss. Sometimes they add your link, sometimes they don't. I've found more consistent wins in creating real value and then doing some legit outreach to niche blogs or related sites. Backlinks from resource pages can be spammy or overused, so don't rely on that alone. It is what it is. Better to diversify and not put all your eggs in that one basket.

Cool story bro, but honestly that's just basic outreach, right? Resource pages are a dime a dozen, and most of the time they're just link farms or spam bait. If you think that's your secret sauce, I got news - most of those links are dead or nofollow in 2023. Real value comes from building actual relationships or creating smth so good that they come to you. Also, offering to add your tool on a resource page? That's the same old cold outreach cringe. If it was that easy, everyone would be doing it, and the pages would be clogged. keep churning that out, but don't come crying when your links die or don't move the needle.

wym with secret sauce? bro, the real sauce is consistent legit outreach and building real relationships, not just dropping links in some resource page and hoping. those resource pages are sus most of the time, dead links or nofollow like tempo said. if you think you got a secret, it's probably just luck. facts over feelings, fr.

look, I've done my fair share of resource page link drops and guess what? It's a numbers game. Sometimes you get a sticky backlink, sometimes you don't. But if you think that's your secret weapon, you're gonna be disappointed. Build real relationships, not just spam and hope. That's how you get actual juice that sticks long term. Don't put all your chips on resource pages, but don't ignore them either. Use 'em as part of a bigger strategy, not the whole damn campaign.

so you offered to add your own tool, that's classic. most of those resource pages are just dead or nofollow links, no real value in a cold pitch. if you got it quick good but don't bet on that being a long term strategy.
right, so you found a resource page, pitched your tool, and scored a backlink. big deal. that's not exactly cracking some secret code, that's just basic outreach. and let's be real, most resource pages are either dead, nofollow, or spam farms. if you think that's your main play, you're just gambling with your cr. here's the thing - unless you're split-testing those placements, you're just throwing darts in the dark. i've seen guys chase these links for months, get some hits, then nothing. no long term value if you're not building real relationships and diversifying your link profile. also, a backlink from some random resource page is not gonna save your campaign if your pre-landers suck or your creatives are garbage. focus on the fundamentals, then maybe those resource links help, but don't act like you cracked some golden egg. citation needed

yeah exactly, quick wins are cool but relying on resource pages for any real long term juice is just asking for trouble cause most of that stuff is dead or nofollow and you end up chasing ghosts, gotta build legit relationships or find smarter angles cause these one off links are just smoke and mirrors in the end
So you think just because it's a resource page and you offered to add your tool that it's some kind of win? Tell me you've never run a real test without telling me. How do you know that link even sticks long term or moves the needle? Or are you just chasing shiny objects again?

Found a resource page is just the start. The real juice is in how you use it. Don't get cocky, links from dead pages or nofollow won't do much for your long term LTV.
been there done that, bh resource pages are a nice quick hit if you pick the right ones, but yeah they're not the long game. the key is finding ones with real juice, not just dead or nofollow stuff. lotta times it's about stacking those links with the legit outreach and relationships, then you got smth that actually sticks and moves the needle. but gotta keep the stack tight and not get lulled into thinking a few resource links are gonna carry the whole campaign. they're just part of the puzzle.

Haha, resource pages can be hit or miss but when they work, they really do. Been there, tested that, and for certain niches, they just convert better if you keep it simple and relevant. But yeah, not a magic pill. Gotta test and optimize. Overhyped? Maybe, but don't write them off if your audience actually cares about the info. I swear most people just slap up a page and call it a day.
Nice, congrats on the win. U know how it is, sometimes resource pages just click. Other times they just sit there, deadweight. I've seen it turn to gold after a few tweaks, but yeah, no magic pill. Gotta keep testing ur angle, see what sticks. Also, don't get caught up in the hype, most of that stuff is just a burn for the most part. Gl with the next round of links.
Honestly, I think some folks are too quick to dismiss resource pages entirely. Yeah, they can be clutter if you overdo it but when you keep it relevant and tight, they can be real link juice magnets. Sometimes they act like a trust signal too, telling Google hey, this site is serious about this niche. It's not about every page needing to be a link farm, but a well-crafted resource hub can be a decent traffic and link diversify play. The key is knowing when your niche actually benefits from that kind of approach, and not just doing it for the sake of it. Gotta look at your overall link profile and see if it adds something legit, not just trying to chase that quick hit.

u think resource pages are just about throwing links and hoping for the best? imo u should be asking if ur resource page actually adds value or just fills space. the niche and the audience matter more than just having links. what happens after u get the link? is it a trust signal or just another page that no one cares about? sometimes a well curated resource page can do more harm than good if it's not done right. u really gotta ask if it's worth the clutter or if there's a smarter way to build that authority. take it or leave it, but just blindly chasing resource links without strategy is a waste

honestly I think the testing and optimizing thing is overplayed sometimes if your core offer and targeting are dialed in the resource page just needs to be a quick tap on the map not a full-blown lab experiment all the time I've seen people burn way too much time tweaking a resource page when what really moves the needle is fixing the landing page or the audience segment focus I mean the data tells a different story a well-targeted campaign with decent creatives will perform well even with a mediocre resource page if the traffic is quality blacklists are way more than endlessly tweaking the resource page itself because one bad placement can tank everything and just clutter your stats with junk traffic testing is important but don't forget the fundamentals sometimes less is more especially when you're already on a good ROAS streak

hard agree with pace here. people get hung up on resource pages like they're some kinda instant gold mine but really it's about relevance and trust. i've seen plenty of resource pages that just become link dumps and do nothing. if it doesn't add real value for the audience, no amount of links will save it. i think too many folks see them as quick wins but in reality they need to be part of a bigger strategy, not just thrown in for the sake of it.

look, I get where yall are coming from but sometimes resource pages are just about quick wins. Yeah, they gotta be relevant and not just link dumps but if I can toss in some decent value and get that click-through, I ain't gonna overthink it. Sometimes people overcomplicate stuff and forget that a simple, targeted page can do the job, especially if the offer's hot. Don't sleep on quick wins, bro, not everything has to be a full-blown research project.

Honestly I think the whole resource page hype is just that, hype. Back in the day we threw up decent content and got decent results without turning every page into a masterpiece. If the core offer is solid and the targeting is on point, a simple relevant resource page can do the job. No need to overcomplicate it. Sometimes less is more especially when you're just after quick wins.
been testing that for months and resource pages are just one part of the puzzle. Relevance and trust matter way more than just slapping links on a page. If the page is just a link dump without any real value it's dead weight. Quick wins are cool but only if you actually get some click-thru. Lazy resource pages are a waste of time unless you've got legit relevance and some decent context around the links
Interesting how some see resource pages as deadweight. What's your secret? How do you keep them relevant without turning them into spam? Data doesn't lie.
