(Re)create the content that gets linked

Post by ahbappy250 »

The starting point for creating relevant content is to understand what the dead page was about. Once you know that, you will have a clear understanding of why someone chose to link to that content and what they were interested in linking to. The best way to do this is to use archive.org's Wayback Machine .

Enter the URL of the dead page here and you will india mobile number database free be able to see what the content looked like. Images and CSS sometimes do not load completely, but you can see what the content looked like and how detailed it was.

Basically, you can figure out exactly what was linked and guess why. You need to know this because now you need to do one of two things:

Find a page on your site that already covers this topic in more depth and might be a good alternative or replacement link.

Create content on your site that provides value in the same way as the dead page.

It's about providing a solid reason for someone to replace the broken link and being able to demonstrate that the content on your site is as good as, if not better than, the original.

The benefit of using the WayBack Machine is that you don't have to make any assumptions about what the content was. If you have existing content, you can analyze it in the context of the linking page to ensure you're providing the same experience on the other end of the link.

Once you have comparable (ideally better) content on your site, it’s time to start reaching out to those who were linking to you.
