Search using patterns such as your topic combined with 'resources', 'useful links', or 'recommended tools', since site owners who publish these pages are explicitly signalling willingness to link out. Filter out pages that have not been updated in over two years, as these are usually abandoned and unlikely to receive a reply.

Making the case for inclusion
Your pitch should describe precisely what your resource adds that is not already on the page: a unique angle, more current information, or a format the page is missing such as a video or a calculator. Never simply ask to be added because you have a related page; give the site owner a concrete reason your inclusion improves their page for their own readers.
Tracking resource page campaigns in RankLinks
Because resource page outreach scales to dozens of targets quickly, log each prospect, contact date, and response status in RankLinks' outreach tracker so you never send duplicate pitches or lose track of pending replies after a week has passed.
Key takeaways
- ✓Use targeted search operators to find actively maintained resource pages
- ✓Skip pages untouched for over two years
- ✓Justify inclusion with a specific value-add, not just relevance
- ✓Track every prospect and reply status in RankLinks
