Linking Pages
Are you creating linking pages to impress the search engines? How much more value would they have if you offered quality, optimized content for each of your categories?
Rather than having a bland list of ‘linking partners’ you could be using your links to gain more credibility AND provide more content for the search engines.
Create a separate page for each link category and write 200-400 words of content on that subject. Offering your recommended links at the end will make you a source for information rather than just a catalog of links.
Optimizing each page for a popular keyword will draw more traffic to your site than links alone. It will also be more valuable for your visitors who are searching for related resources.
