What is Broken Link Building?

[richardmsmith]

Broken link building is the process of identifying broken external links on websites. The major goal is to get the broken link replaced with a link to your working page. This process is effective but is time consuming to execute.

Find a resource page or an existing page on the net, which is linked to yours but which contains a broken link. You then contact the owner of the site and offer your own URL as an appropriate replacement.

Broken link building is a method that involves
1. Finding resources in your niche that are no longer active.
2. Recreating a version of the content and asking webmasters to replace the broken link with a link to your newly created resource.

Hi,

As a link building tactic, broken link building is an effective, white-hat, scalable, content-focused link building strategy that builds links through finding broken links, recreating that broken content, and helping webmasters replace broken links with your corrected link.

Broken link building isn’t a new tactic, but with the explosive growth of the web in recent years and new website technologies and redesigns, the number of broken links is increasing. I’m surprised this type of link building doesn’t seem to be in favor anymore. I hear horrible tales of tremendous amounts of time invested in research and low response rates to the outreach. When effectiveness decreases, it’s time to figure out why and to look at the whole process to make it better and faster.

Broken links are links which no more exists from the webpage it was built. These links are harmful for your website and should be recovered immediately.

Broken link building means to find the top ranking websites broken links of your niche and inform the site owner from that website these links are linked to and ask the owner for the link replacement with your website but it does not always work or site owner link to your website.
