Frequently Asked Questions

Why Broken Link Building Works

Broken link building is one of the most effective white-hat link building strategies because it creates a win-win situation:

For site owners: They get to fix broken links that hurt their user experience and SEO
For you: You get valuable backlinks from authoritative sites
For readers: They get working links to relevant, high-quality content

Example: You find a broken link to "TypeScript best practices" on a popular developer blog. You create comprehensive TypeScript content and offer it as a replacement. The blog owner is happy to fix the broken link, and you get a valuable backlink from an authoritative site.

Success rate: Broken link outreach typically has a 5-15% success rate, which is much higher than other outreach methods because you're solving a real problem for the site owner.
