How to Get Backlinks from Resource Pages
Resource page link building involves finding pages that curate lists of helpful links in a specific niche and asking the owner to include your high-quality tool, guide, or data. Success depends on having a 'truly useful' asset that improves the quality of their list.
Many websites maintain 'Resources' or 'Useful Links' pages to help their users find the best tools and information. These pages are goldmines for link building because their sole purpose is to link out. To get listed, you must first create something that belongs there—like a comprehensive 'Guide to [Topic]' or a 'Free [Niche] Calculator.' pSeoMatic is specifically designed to create these types of high-utility pages at scale. Once you have the asset, you use advanced Google search operators to find resource pages and send a polite email explaining why your link would be a great addition for their visitors.
Step-by-Step Guide
Find Resource Pages
Use search operators like '[keyword] + inurl:links' or '[keyword] + intitle:resources' to find curated lists in your niche.
Audit the Resource Page
Check if the page is still active and if the links are high-quality. If the page hasn't been updated in 5 years, move on.
Create or Polish Your Asset
Make sure the page you want to link to is world-class. If it’s a tool, ensure it works; if it’s a guide, ensure it’s up to date.
The 'Value-First' Outreach
Email the site owner. Mention a specific resource they currently have and explain how your asset provides a complementary or updated perspective.
Pro Tips
- Point out any broken links on their resource page as a way to start the conversation.
- Personalize your outreach—don't use a generic template that they've seen 100 times.
- Focus on university or non-profit resource pages for the highest authority boost.
