How to write a roundup post that earns links

A roundup post gathers the best of something — tips, tools, examples, expert opinions — into one useful piece. Done well, roundups are shareable, linkable, and genuinely handy references.

What makes a good roundup

• •A clear, specific theme ('the best tools for X').
• •Genuinely curated picks, not a padded list.
• •Useful context on why each made the cut.
• •Kept current so it stays reliable.

Why they earn links

People (and anyone you feature) tend to share and link to roundups that include them or that save them research. Make it genuinely the best collection on its topic, and it can keep earning links for years.
