Still worth it to get listed on "resources" pages
-
Hello,
I'm a new moz user who handles the online marketing for www.griefrecoverymethod.com. We provide grief support groups and 1-1 work as well as professional training for caregivers.We are on some websites as a grief resource, but not as many as I think we can be on. We have never attempted to reach out on a large scale to get added to sites.
Is this type of link building worth a large campaign for us? Or has the ship sailed on link building with resource pages.
I'm fairly new to all of this so any guidance at all would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Thanks for checking out our site. Good point on the sharing buttons. We have some minimal options on each blog but that is about it. I have a hover type social share on my to do list for sure. I will looking into "share this".

Thanks for this info. Seems like a great plan. I will look into building a strategy to hit all of these points.

I like your site (and agree about the DSM-5). Pardon me for not directly answering your question or if you've thought about this already; I notice you have your own Face Book and Twitter pages linked top right, but I can't see any social sharing buttons for people to share your content on places like their own Facebook profile to friends, Google+, Pinterest and the like.
Search engines rank social factors, they are now one of the main pillars of SEO, ergo, when someone shares your content that's like a link. I use "ShareThis" for my social share buttons, they have a range of styles. They have a hover button on the left side of their page here http://sharethis.com/ that one might look good on your site without affecting the presentation or useability.

I agree with Chris on this! You should get links from resources pages but good link profile comes from the diversification of links so if the links are only coming from 1 kind of link building tactic thin might hurt you in the future... I believe, with this you should use 404 link building, infographics, guest blogging, links within the content, manual outreaching and more...In order to have an organic and diversified link profile that ideally search engines are looking for!

Thanks for the advice. We are blogging regularly as well and I'm trying to develop some other link building strategies.
I would mainly be approaching sites with good domain authority like universities, hospitals, counseling sites etc. We have a good reputation in the community so I'm hopeful that will help us get on some quality resource pages.

You should be trying to get your site listed as a resource on those pages. But: it can't be your only strategy, as a link profile predominantly of one kind of link is not considered ideal and, be sure verify that the links on those resource pages you're looking for are well curated--there are tons of "resources" pages out there that are worthless heaps of crap links. A small percentage of reciprocal links are OK.

Is link sharing still worth it?
Hi guys,
Link Building | | ikwilzitzakken.nl
As far as I can see a lot of people still are sharing links from A <-> B, my question is: is it better not to use this? Can it possibly cause a penalty? My compeditors are using it and are ranking better.0 -
Www.partybox.co.uk - Why cannot improve the position for "party supplies"
About 4 Months ago I submitted a Disavow file to Google for www.partybox.co.uk which seemed to have improved the position across many terms. However the main term "party supplies" I cannot get to rank any higher than page 6 in the UK. I have no penalties in webmaster tools. Should I see if I can collect anymore links that could be holding the website back for ranking for party supplies or what should i be looking to do ? The website ranks well for other terms that the home page is optimised for such as party stuff but not for party supplies any advice would be great thanks Adam

Can you get "link juice" from an outside company's/organization's intranet?
Will you get the same "link juice benefits" from a University, Government Org, or public company's intranet that are linked to your webpages – vs the benefits that you would get from links from their public webpages? Assume that the external webpages have very high Domain Authority, MozRank/Trust etc.

Example of a local "boring-niche" site in a relatively high competition area using strictly white hat tactics
I'm looking for an example of a site in a very boring service niche locally "let's say elevator doors in chicago" or something like that, that successfully using blogging, content generation, etc to achieve top rankings above its spammy competitors. Anyone care to give out a case study? I'm not talking about companies that submit to 100's of local directories like yelp, or google maps rankings. I'm talking about organic or blended serps.

How would one get on the Huff Po's "Around the Web" list?
On the huffington post they often have lists of links related to the article, near the bottom just before the comments. This section, when present, is called "Around the Web". See this as an example: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/linda-bacon-phd-ma-ma/health-at-every-size_b_1314339.html Do the article authors choose these links, or are they auto-generated somehow? I had a relatively small competitor appear here, so I'm wondering if there are any tricks to gett included. Thanks! Edited to add hyperlink

Anyone have a list of paid directories?
I want to get into some good paid directories, but every list I have found out there is either just a top ten and repeats the same ones or is a list of 500 where I know most are worthless. Has anyone submitted to paid directories that has a list of good ones that are actually worth submitting to?

Is still interesting to use aggregators?
Primeiramente, desculpe pelo inglês, pois sou brasileiro. Gostaria de saber, se com a chegada do Panda (que ainda não veio ao Brasil), os agregadores de blogs poderão ser prejudicados à ponto de diminuir os ranks dos links que recebemos. Na verdade, quero saber se ainda compensa usar agregadores de blogs que não utilizam nofollow. Agradeço!
