What Is Broken Link Hijacking?
It is a general practice to link external resources, third-party sites, and pages on websites/web applications. Including such outbound links is an SEO best practice. In other cases, websites and web applications may use external links for link shortening, storing scripts, analytics pages, and even CDN or file hosting services. What happens if linked pages/ resources cease to exist, but the links remain on the website? It causes a high risk of Broken Link Hijacking, a type of web attack.
