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.
