Resource pages for backlinks - still worth it or just a waste?

Let me paint you a picture, I poured hours into manual outreach for resource pages last month. Hit up every niche relevant site, crafted personalized emails, waited for responses that never really came. And what did I get? A handful of links that prob got lost in the noise or maybe just nofollowed the hell out of everything. Everyone keeps saying resource pages are golden, that they still move the needle, but I'm starting to wonder if it's just an echo chamber. I see creators still touting it as a staple in their tactics, but I can't shake the feeling that I got played, that I was chasing ghost backlinks while the real juice is elsewhere. Anyone else still doing this with any success or has the game moved on? Honestly, I'm questioning whether it's worth the effort anymore or if I should just burn that strategy to the ground and focus on something more scalable. Would love some real talk here, because I'm tired of pouring into tactics that seem more like tradition than results.

bro, I feel you, I really do. That kinda grind is just a waste of time now. Back in the day, it felt like gold but now it's just spam and broken links.
 
resource pages are definitely not dead, but yeah they got more noisy, and nofollowed to hell. but dismissing them entirely? that's throwing the baby out with the bathwater.
 
Honestly I think people get too caught up on resource pages as if they're the only thing that moves the needle. Yeah they got noisy and a lot are nofollow but even nofollow links can pass some juice depending on the site and context. Plus it's about quality not quantity, you know? I've seen decent results still doing a mix of outreach there but I don't rely solely on them. It's all about diversifying and not putting all eggs in that one basket.

I get the noise and nofollow frustration, but dismissing resource pages entirely feels short-sighted. I've seen some niches where a well-placed link on a relevant resource page still drives traffic and authority, even if the link is nofollow. It's about how you them, not just if you get a backlink

show me the stats though cuz my data says otherwise resource pages can still pass some juice if you pick the right ones and do your outreach right but if you just buy cheap links or spam comments they are pretty much dead in the water nowadays, would be curious to see what your numbers look like because my last campaign in a similar niche got a nice bump from a few solid resource pages but i know others who say it's dead sooo maybe just luck or bad targeting in their case
 
Resource pages for backlinks? Still a gamble. They're slow and often dead or nofollow now. If you find legit ones that actually pass juice and you do your outreach like a hunter, maybe. But most of that crap is just clutter, and Google's catching on. Think volume over everything. Personalization in push is a myth, but if you want juice, you gotta beat the noise, not chase scraps. Your data's right, but the game's changed. If you're just hoping for a quick pass, better put your bets elsewhere

But do you really think Google isn't catching on to the old resource page trick by now? Seems like a gamble to keep pouring time into them when the juice is so questionable. How many of those pages are actually passing anything anymore or just clutter that won't move the needle?

Resource pages for backlinks - still worth it? I'd say it depends on what you're after. The common wisdom is that they're dead weight now, nofollow city, and Google's pretty good at sniffing out the usual suspects. But here's the thing - if you can find legit resource pages that actually pass juice, and you do outreach like a savage, there's still some value. Just don't expect easy wins or overnight gains. Most of that clutter is just that - clutter. The key is the quality of the page and the relevance, not just dropping a link and hoping for the best. And don't forget, tracking those backlinks is always the weak link, never trust the dashboard blindly.
 
Resource pages for backlinks? Nah, I think people are overestimating their juice. Sure, if you find some that are still passin' real link equity and do outreach like a pro, maybe they work. But most are just old, nofollow clutter. Google's caught on and your time is better spent on content and building real relationships.

Oh, resource pages? I saw that movie before. They used to be gold mines but now they're just dusty landers sitting there collecting spiders. If you can cloak and spam enough, maybe they work for a bit, but don't expect much long term. Waste of time for anyone not trying to look busy.
 
man resource pages are kinda like the swiss cheese of backlinks now, all holes and no real cheese if you ask me but if you find a legit one with actual juice and not just some spammy forum link farm it might still bring some small ROI but you gotta be super careful cause most of them are just crawling with bad juice and you're gonna get slapped harder than a drunk bouncer if you try to push too much on those dusties and honestly most of the time it's just not worth the headache when you got smarter smarter ways to cloak and scale so don't fall for the shiny shiny anymore especially if you're trying to keep a consistent flow w/o the algorithm throwing you into the abyss
 
Resource pages are still worth it if you can find the legit ones with real traffic and not just link farms. The trick is spotting the good ones fast and not wasting time on spammy junk. It's just data, you gotta filter smart.
 
resource pages? man, they can still be a sneaky little boost if you find the right ones. most of the ones out there now are just spam farms, but trust me on this, if you put in the work to vet the legit ones with decent traffic, they can still drip some juice. the key is quick filtering, don't waste time on junk. i've seen some old resource pages still pull good cpc if they got real traffic and aren't just dead links. most seo 'gurus' haven't ranked a real competitive kw with legit backlinks, so don't buy into the hype that they're dead. just gotta stay sharp and keep testing. trust me, it's still worth a shot if you know what you're doing

sorry but i gotta disagree. resource pages are still worth it if you find the legit ones but most of what i see now is just spam farms or dead pages. they might drip some juice if you vet properly but if you're just throwing links blindly, it's a waste of time. ROI on junk is zero, trust me
 
been there done that with resource pages and honestly you gotta be selective or it's just a waste of time most of the ones out there are dead or spammy or both but if you dig deep enough you can still find those little gems that actually drive some traffic and juice up your site just gotta keep your eyes open and not get caught up in the junk lowkey feels like back in the day when everyone thought just throwing up some links was enough but now you gotta put in the work and vet those legit ones let him cook
