Resource Page Link Building
A white‑hat strategy for earning links from curated resource pages. How to find, evaluate, and get placements on topic‑related lists.
Resource page link building is a link building method where you suggest adding your high‑quality resource to curated pages like 'Useful links' or 'Best tools.' It is considered a white‑hat technique.
Finding resource pages
Use search operators to discover pages that already curate lists:
"keyword" + "useful resources"
"keyword" + "helpful links"
"keyword" + inurl:resources
"keyword" + inurl:links
"keyword" + "recommended"Example queries: "SEO" + "useful tools", "marketing" + inurl:resources. Filter results by Domain Rating (DR) and topical relevance.
Outreach process
Once you have a list, follow four steps:
- Evaluation — check DR, traffic, and whether your link is already listed.
- Analysis — study what's already on the list. Your resource must be at least as good.
- Preparation — create something truly unique and valuable (a tool, guide, free ebook).
- Outreach — send a personalized email to the page owner.
Email template and conversion
A short, respectful email boosts response rate. Example:
Subject: Resource for your [page name] page
Hi [Name],
I discovered your "[page name]" page — great collection!
I noticed [your resource] isn't included yet.
We created [brief value prop] — [URL]
It might be useful for your readers.
Best,
[Your name]Average response rate: 30–40%, success rate (link added): 15–25%. The key is to only pitch genuinely high‑quality resources.
