Workflow: resource-page targets vs roundup-post targets

Both host outbound links that rot. Sequencing differs.

Stage 1 — Resource pages: search "keyword + inurl:resources". These pages expect link submissions, so a dead-link pitch lands soft.
Stage 2 — Roundups: search "keyword + best tools 2023". Older roundups carry the most rot but read as dated.
Stage 3 — QA gate: check page last-modified date. Resource pages updated within 12 months accept faster; stale roundups often have an absent editor.
Stage 4 — Prioritize resource pages first — maintained, responsive, repeatable.

Automation fits Stage 1-2 search operators, batched.

Definition of done: targets bucketed resource vs roundup, each with last-modified date logged.
