Broken Link Building

I contacted the host blog. And they replied to replace the broken links with mine. Back then I thought that the hardest part is done, right?

But it's been 4 weeks now and I haven't heard from them. And neither I am seeing my links in their site. What should I do?

It may take even couple of months. Atleast you are getting links so be happy.

The first step here would be to follow up. People get busy, and your email may have been buried under other priorities. A gentle reminder about the initial agreement can sometimes jog their memory. In your follow-up, make it as easy as possible for them to take action. Perhaps include the exact code they need to insert to replace the broken link with yours.
If that doesn't work, it's also worth considering other sites that you can reach out to for a similar opportunity. Don't put all your eggs in one basket, as they say.

I suggest sending a polite follow-up email to the host blog, mentioning the 4-week timeframe and your concern about not seeing your links on their site. If you don't receive a response after your initial follow-up, consider sending another friendly message after a reasonable period. In the meantime, explore alternative link-building opportunities to maximize your efforts.

4 week is too early. 6-8 weeks will be good in this case. The host blogger might get irritated.
