Broken links are harmful for your domain and they can be 301 redirected to avoid any Google penalties.

1. Find dead pages on the top sites in your niche (which have TONS of backlinks).
2. Find broken outlinks on those same websites (then see which of those links have a TON of backlinks).
3. Find niche-relevant expired domains with backlinks.
4. Find broken links by scraping resource/links pages in your niche.

Check My Links Chrome extension: If you’re ever in need of a tool that can quickly check a page for broken links, this is it.
Once installed, it will appear as a little checkmark icon beside your address bar. When you click it, it will start scanning all links on the page. If a link is broken, it will be highlighted in red, and the error will be shown right beside the text (e.g., “404”).
The one drawback of this tool is that you still need to scroll through the page to find the red highlighted links. If you could simply copy all the broken links by clicking a button, it would be perfect.
