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.

Should we get link from dated page with high PA/DA?
We have an unlinked mention on a page that has dated content about an old event but the page and site have a good PA and DA score. Is it worth it to go for the link? Thanks.

Backlink and Citations: "Google my business" title name too long!?
Here is my situation.
Link Building | | H.M.N.
I am currently doing backlinks and citations for one of our clients. The title name of the client on "Google my Business" is 75 characters. However, for most citation or back link websites, the limit for the title is 50 characters. Here are my questions: How important is it to have the exact same title in citations and backlinks? If it is, is the only solution to change the name on google to have only 50 characters? Thanks in advance for your help!0 -

Have around 260 links with about 60% of them junk.
Some links are from sig links on forums that I actually legitimately post to and from real comments I have made on the web over the years. Should all of these go? Was thinking of hiring a freelancer to do this or maybe going through an online tool if anyone has any suggestions? An example is this http://ezinearticles.com/?The-Era-of-Digital-Signage&id=6236852 Edit: Well I got a reply from ezine and from goarticles! They are removing the articles, maybe its becoming a headache for them all as, Sorry, GoArticles.com is no longer accepting new article submissions or account signups. We wish this wasn't the end, but unfortunately, it is and we aren't able to continue. You can download a backup copy of all of your submissions by logging into your existing account so that you can re-use your content on your own website or other competitor sites. Thank you for being a member and we're sorry that this site will be coming to an end shortly.1 -

Should I optimize/link build all my pages at once?
I'm currently starting to optimize about 30 area specific pages for a property maintenance company and was wondering, what's the best way to link build multiple pages at once? Should I link build for all of the 30 the pages at once, or maybe focus on 5 individual pages - get them ranking well, then focus on the next 5 and so on?
