Broken Link Building

Broken Link Building finds dead links on other websites and suggests your content as a fix. This Link Building method earns Backlinks by solving problems for site owners who have broken links.

You start by using SEO Tools to find 404 errors on sites in your niche. Next, you check if you have content that fits what the broken link used to point to, or create new content that matches the topic. Then you reach out through email and offer your link as a working fix that helps their readers.

This works better than most Link Building tactics because you help site owners rather than just ask for links. It builds strong Link Equity when you find truly broken links on quality sites and have content that matches what was lost. The key is having real value to offer, which beats Resource Page Outreach where you compete with links that already work.

How This SEO Knowledge Base Works

The pages in this section are structured as an interconnected knowledge graph, designed to be both comprehensive and easy to navigate:

  • Self-contained - Each page fully explains its concept, with links to background reading
  • Interconnected - Internal links show you how concepts relate and naturally connect
  • Layered depth - Start with broad overviews or dive straight into specific topics
  • Visual navigation - The linkmap above shows how the SEO structure fits together
  • Information-dense - No fluff or filler, just the information you need in as few words as possible

The goal is reference content that respects your time without sacrificing depth.
