Link Reclamation
Broken Backlink Recovery
A backlink is only useful when its destination works. We find legitimate links that land on 404s, soft 404s, expired resources, and broken redirect paths, then map each one to the closest useful page.
What We Check
We verify the referring page, link status, topical fit, target response, redirect history, canonical, and final landing page. Spam, scraper links, and unrelated injections are removed from the repair queue.
The Repair Options
- Restore the original resource when it still serves users
- Apply a one-hop 301 to the closest replacement
- Consolidate overlapping pages
- Ask the referring publisher to update a live broken link
- Return 410 for hacked or meaningless paths
