Link Building
Resource Page Link Building
Quick definition
Resource page link building is the tactic of getting your content added to curated 'best of' or resource list pages on authoritative websites.
Universities, industry associations, and topic hubs maintain pages of vetted resources — exactly the kind of editorial endorsement Google values. Inclusion typically earns a contextual dofollow link.
Why Resource Page Link Building matters
These pages already accept curated submissions, so outreach friction is low. The harder part is having content worth being on the list.
How Resource Page Link Building works in practice
Search operators like 'inurl:resources [topic]', 'intitle:resources [topic]', and '[topic] + useful links' surface candidate pages quickly. Filter by DR, traffic, and relevance before outreach.
Best practices
- Target pages clearly maintained in the last 12 months.
- Pitch the resource, not yourself — explain the value to their readers.
- Avoid templated outreach.
- Track placements and revisit annually.
