If a link disappears, first determine whether the change is temporary or intentional. A broken destination may be fixed with a redirect or content update. A low-quality publisher may not justify recovery efforts. This is why link health monitoring is more useful than a one-time delivery count. The strongest programs treat backlinks as an active portfolio. They maintain good placements, identify deterioration early, and use historical data to decide where future resources should go. (31/44)
