Resource page link building, remember how we used to do it?

man i was thinking about how back in the day we used to crush resource page links like it was nothing. feels so nostalgic now, like those old link building days where you just found some relevant pages sent a quick email and boom you got a link. no fancy pbn stuff no overthinking anchors just straight up legit outreach. now it seems like everyone's trying to game the system with sneaky black hat tricks or super complicated strategies. remember when you'd just google 'resource plus your niche' and find a dozen good pages? those days felt more real way less stress
 
Honestly, I gotta agree, like 80% of my first legit links came from just banging out simple emails on resource pages. back then it was about finding relevant pages, shooting a quick email, and just waiting. now it's all about complex funnels and sneaky PBNs, feels less real and way more stressful, man. wish it was still that straightforward.
 
Yeah man, exactly. Last month i started using Hunter.io for outreach emails, made it so much easier to find contacts quick and stay organized. totally miss those simple days but this kinda s it a lot. ymmv tho.
 
last month i was reminiscing about those easy days, so i just hit up a bunch of niche forums and resource pages with quick emails. no fuss, no overthinking, just simple outreach. honestly felt more genuine than all the black hat tricks now.
 
Man, I miss those days too, just typing out quick emails and not stressing over every link. I swear, I started using Pitchbox recently and it kinda brings back that simple vibe but with a touch of automation. Still feels legit and not overthought.
 
nah man, those days were just as stressful, just in a different way, more like guessing and hoping for the best now it's all rules and filters.
 
sometimes i think those old days were more about luck and just plain old hustle, now it's all about dodging filters and overcomplicating stuff which kinda kills the fun.
 
been doing this 3 years, and honestly those simple days felt less stressful. now it's all about overthinking every outreach and chasing some perfect anchor. sometimes I wish I could go back to just finding a relevant page and shooting a quick email.
 
Ever try using a simple tool like Scrapebox to find those resource pages faster? just punch in your niche and "resource" or "useful links" and you get a list in seconds. no fuss, no overthinking, just quick outreach. ymmv but sometimes old school still beats the overcomplication.
 
ngl honestly I think those old resource link days were more about pure volume and hustle. I remember finding like 50 good pages in an hour just by googling "resource + niche" and shooting out quick emails. now ppl overthink every email and get like 10 links if they're lucky. feels like we lost some of that raw simplicity.
 
Careful with thinking it was all just hustle, some of those days you could find 100 good pages in an hour and get about 60% reply rate. now? ymmv but you're lucky to get 10 links in same time, so quality's gone way down.
 
Been doing this 3 years and honestly, instead of just asking for a link, I try to give them a reason to actually wanna help me. Like, I share useful info or a quick tip on their site's niche. It's more genuine and I get way better responses than just spamming a resource page.
 
different angle: maybe it's not just about the old days or spammy tactics, but how u adapt. those resource pages still work if u genuinely add value and build real relationships. the game now is more about trust than just link spam.
 
Honestly, I think adapting is key. I used to just blast out emails, now I try to find legit ways to add value first. Like commenting on their blog or sharing something useful before asking for a link. It's way more lowkey and builds trust.
