Broken Link Building:

Broken link building is a white hat SEO strategy. In this technique, you find broken links from websites and notify the concerned webmasters to replace or fix a broken link with your relevant link. These links are very powerful to boost your site’s ranking.

How to do broken link building?

– The keywords should be relevant to your website’s niche. For example, you website is on “Inversion Tables” then you will collect keyword related to health. Then find related pages in Bing, Yahoo or Google by querying like “intitle:health” etc.
– Now you will have a list of URLs. Now test each URL with our link extraction tool to get the broken links (if available) from those URLs and store them in an excel sheet.
– Filter out the final set of 404 pages and analyze which are relevant targets to your niche.
– Now you have a list of strong targets.
– Go to ahrefs.com and find out how many referring domains are there against a dead link.
– If a 404 link has more than 100 (just an example) quality referring domains pointing, take it into consideration.
– Go to internet archive and find out on which topic the dead link was.
– Create a relevant article and publish to your website.
– Now one by one pitch the websites where the broken link is. Tell them the link is broken and you have written the same article and ask them to replace that link with your link.
