Why You Should Love Link Rot

Link rot: it refers to the slow and inevitable deterioration of links on the web when pages are taken down, moved, or just fade away.

For most people, link rot is nothing more than an annoyance, littering the Internet with dead links that result in the dreaded 404 error.

But for SEO professionals, link rot has given birth to a new and extremely effective way to build quality links. It’s called broken link building (BLB).

Broken link building is a high-octane link building strategy that can help you generate a steady and reliable stream of links from authoritative websites. The process involves notifying a webmaster that their site has broken links – and recommending one or more link alternatives that include your target site.

Here’s how it works:

Step 1: You find a resources page on the web, relevant to your site that lists and links to a whole bunch of other sites. The person behind the site wants to be helpful and provide these resources for their readers. But such lists – even top quality ones – have broken links and that gives you fantastic opportunities.

Step 2: You use a link checker to find out if there are any broken links in the list (sometimes up to 20% of links on the page will be broken!).

Step 3: You contact the person behind the site and politely tell them about the broken link. You then suggest an alternative resource. They’ll usually be grateful and will replace the link – and also link to you as a return favor.

How is BLB Different Than Traditional Link Building?

Well, unlike typical “gimme” link requests, you’re doing the webmaster a favor by letting them know there is a broken link on their site. Not only that – you’re giving them an instant solution by suggesting a replacement link!

Also, BLB is a 100% white-hat technique – very low risk – so there’s no worrying about being penalized by Google.

Here are some other compelling benefits of broken link building:

  • It can be performed at scale – so it’s a viable option for agencies as well as in-house teams.
  • Thanks to link rot’s growing prevalence, you have a virtually endless supply of targets.
  • Targets, by definition, already link out to quality resources – so they’ll be likely to link out to replacement content.
  • The research you do to find broken link prospects can be used to create content replacements.
  • It’s a simple process anyone can learn – so it’s perfect for in-house teams or outsource workers.
  • By helping to replace broken links, you’re actually contributing to a healthier, more user-friendly web.
  • You can turn broken link building into an added revenue stream, charging anywhere from $50 to $600 per link!

At the moment, BLB is a tactic that’s greatly underutilized by the online marketing community. So now is the perfect time for you to capitalize on it!

And best of all?

Broken link building WORKS. After all, no self-respecting webmaster wants their site loaded with dead, road-to-nowhere links. As a result, you can expect a conversion rate of up to 10% using this strategy .

While the process of acquiring links through broken link building is fairly straightforward, there are certain “best practices” you need to follow in order to make your efforts pay off. Approach it without a plan, and you’ll end up wasting your time (with little to show for it).

Our new video course outlines the key components of broken link building and shows you – step by step and with real-world examples – how to generate lots of first-class links with the minimum amount of time and effort.

A Sneak-Peek at What’s in the Videos

1. How to Profit from BLB: Links are valuable because they improve your rankings and bring you visitors who are actively seeking your products or services. With broken link building, you can find broken links to boost your own sales – or sell BLB as a service to your clients. For agencies in particular, this can be a lucrative additional income stream. In this video, we’ll show you all the ways you can turn BLB into profit.

2. How to Find Red-Hot BLB Opportunities: You could try to find broken links by hand – but that takes serious time. To remedy this, Garrett has built a cutting-edge tool that allows you to find broken links automatically. You can find thousands with a single keyword search in all sorts of markets! We’ll preview his Broken Link Finder tool in this video.

3. Assessing BLB Opportunities: When you’re dealing with thousands of potential link building opportunities, you want to be able to narrow down your list to those with the most potential. We’ll explain how to assess the value of broken links – so you can be sure you’re getting the most “bang for your buck.”

4. Content Substitution: Since link prospects are already actively linking to external sites – you know they’re hungry for great content. We’ll show how you can feed their hunger by recommending quality resources you’ve found during your research (or by offering your own quality content as an alternative!).

5. Pitching Prospects – The tone of a broken link pitch is quite different from a standard link request. You’re already at a great advantage – your pitch email itself is helpful since you’re pointing out a flaw on their site they might not otherwise know about. When contacting webmasters about broken links, your approach should be friendly and helpful. We’ll provide you with a suggested “script” you can customize with your own creativity and personal touches.

6. Managing Outreach (Parts 1 and 2): – You must be methodical in order to manage thousands of emails at a time – but don’t be too transactional in your approach. In this video, we’ll show you:

  • How to use email templates to make outreach much easier
  • How to connect with people by telling a good “story” in your pitch
  • Why crafting personalized responses can make it easier to win links

7. Toolset and Working Examples: In this video, we’ll demonstrate the tools you need to identify, assess, and approach broken link prospects at scale. They’ve been specifically designed by Garrett – a master of the art. We’ll also show you step-by-step working examples of these tasks so you know exactly what to do to be successful.

8. Using Personas: To build rapport with your target, you must have a solid narrative and personality. If you’re at an agency, you’ll need to create different personas to appeal to the various markets you’re targeting. We’ll give you real examples of personas we’ve used successfully – and share guidelines to help you create your own.

9. Working at Scale: These days, we’re all under pressure to win quality links – lots of them. Garrett has worked with some of the biggest websites in the world across many industry sectors, and has taught them how to work at very large scale. In this video, we’ll explain:

11. Charging for Your Work: Acquiring links through broken link building can be a lucrative process, earning you anywhere from $50 to $600 per link! But to make it work for you, you’ve got to be armed with the right information. What does the market expect to pay? How can you ensure you’re profitable? This video will explore:

  • How to negotiate pricing per link
