How It Works

Four steps to turning
dead links into live authority.

Broken link building is one of the highest-acceptance outreach methods around. Instead of asking for a link, you’re offering value to the publisher. You’re helping fix a problem they’ve got on their site.

01

Identify Authority Sites With Broken Links

We crawl Resource Pages, Blog Posts & Articles on high DR sites within your niche for links to 404 pages, Expired domains and Dead URLs.

02

Match Broken Links to Your Content

For every broken link we find, we determine what content on your site could reasonably replace it, or suggest content that may need to be created.

03

Outreach to the Publisher

We inform website owner about that their website page contains a broken link and we suggest your URL as a relevant alternative link. Our approach is professional and free of any commercial bias - we are here to help.

04

Publisher Updates the Link

The publisher will replace the broken link with a working link to your page. You will receive a dofollow backlink from a real page that already has its own existing Authority and Traffic.

Why Broken Link Building Works.

Highest Acceptance Rates of Any Outreach Method

You are helping the publisher fix a problem on their site. I need your help to resolve an issue we are experiencing with a platform. This is NOT a cold pitch for a favor. The ROI for a broken link outreach message as opposed to a cold guest post pitch is exponentially higher.

The Linking Page Already Has Authority

Unlike a new guest post that starts with zero signals, As we just learned, a brand new guest post that is attempted and doesn’t make it to publication has no backlinks. A Broken Link Replacement however, is already an existing page of content with existing backlinks, existing traffic and existing indexation history, just like with a link insertion.link insertions provide.

Completely White-Hat

Broken link building is one of the few tactics Google has never spoken against. Broken link building is actually a SEO technique that Google has never officially criticized. By replacing a dead link with a new one to the same relevant page, you are contributing to the quality and usefulness of the web.

Works Across Every Niche

Resource pages in healthcare, legal, education, finance Broken links are inevitable on resource pages across virtually every sector, from healthcare to legal, education to finance, and more.

FAQ

Broken Link Building
Questions Answered.

The recommended replacement content for a broken link is content related to the topic of the page that had the broken link. If you don’t have relevant content, you should create it.

Outreach resources pages, Tools and Resources pages and really old blog posts on authority sites tend to accumulate a ton of broken outbound links. EDU domains specifically tend to have a ton of broken links on them. University websites are full of content that was posted a long time ago and is never ever edited or updated. Authors and contributors to a site tend to only post and then leave, without ever checking in on their old work ever again.EDU domains are particularly rich in broken links because university pages are rarely maintained after the original author leaves. University scholarship pages are another high-value target - see our scholarship link building service.
