This is the major question, which comes in mind of every SEO, link building company and webmaster’s that what kind of link page should be on there site or what is the best way of giving outbound link. Every body need links and to get it you will have give back some thing unless your content are so good that you are voluntarily linked by others. To give back link you need some link page or some other way for outbound links. What method you be adopted for outbound links structuring my opinion you can adopt following:
1. The best way is to give outbound link is to within the content page as it is most useful for users who read your site contents. This method of linking is natural and will stay for long time to come as search engines wants that pages should be made for users not for search engines.
2. You can make 4 to 6 resources pages but each page should be on particular theme and object of the page should match to theme of your site. In such way you will provide the users related resources on same topic at one place. It will help you in making a authority page.
3. You can also adopt the traditional style which is used in research papers by giving links at the end of the page referred as more references and resources. It will help the users in getting more reference on the same topic.
There are many other way of making link page but the most common is have long page with huge list of sites on one page and linking each site with its title or optimized anchor text without having relevance of all sites. Such pages never bring traffic rather we just make it for only search engines, which is a Spam. Google mentioned in its SEO guidelines “Make pages for users, not for search engines “. Search engines are well aware of such kind of link pages and are definitely to be treated by search engines as “link farm” and will be penalized. Get Link building service
