Broken link building has it all…

Scalable.

White hat.

That’s why you want to take your broken link and pop it into ahrefs (or your link analysis tool of choice):

And you’ll get a long list of sites that you can contact about their broken link:

For example, the dead link I found on the SEO Wikipedia entry has 380 backlinks from 152 referring domains.Read more at http://backlinko.com/seo-techniques
