I’ve been counting on Category pages for this type of thing, but now I see there is so much more power in a resource page. Thanks very much. Now to create…

Derek,
For your resource page would you recommend using links that open in a new window or the same?

Derek,
Do you have an instructional information on the use of microformat we can have, and how to add it to Thesis? Thanks in advance.

Hi D!
Ive searched for this topic for about a month on your blog and never found it. Ive searched on social triggers, thats why never found it. I had some idea of Resource pages tx to an email of you about 2 months ago but lost it… Jmmmm YES! I have read it now. Perfect. I will create a couple of Resource pages in my web site/blog…
But… I dont agree 100% of why these Resource pages are awesome.
In bullet # 1 -You say :
1. Help you rank higher in search engines for specific keyphrases

Do you really believe it? Im a SEO and according to my best knowledge if we consider any given Resource Pages only has aprox 200 hundred words as in your page -Increase Online Sells example-, its not juicy enought for Google.

Please give feedback on this… I would like to learn more. Google likes 450+ words pages or posts.

I cannot agree more in # 2… Improving usability of the site 🙂
In the third one… Let me see how it converts 😉

Lots to do know to build a landing page due to the _underscore mistake…
Ufff I will do my best to get it running.

Thanks Derek 🙂 YOU are AWESOME!

P/d – Expect an answer from you or any collaborator.

P/d – Loved the video with Flynn. That gave me the key to finally reach the Resource Page Blog. Clap clap

Every line of this post was worth ready. Resource page helps new readers find the best stuff to read, I think every blog should focus on this.

Hi Derek, I finally put the resource page together! It’s 75% of what I want it to be… It’s still missing video, more article links and an email opt-in form. But it’s a start! See it here:

In reply to Derek Halpern. Hey Derek, Can you explain why you prefer to use a landing page as opposed to a standard page?

Thanks for the page! It’s very useful! I was just wondering about something. I read somewhere that static pages aren’t as good for SEO ranking as more ‘dynamic’ blog posts. Does it matter if you make a resource ‘ page’ on a page or in a blog post? (Which you then link to in the navigation)?
