Broken backlinks are those links which have got error in their urls or the pages has just gone. So, anyone coming from that link will not find the concerned page. If you have too many broken links and they are increasing rapidly then your rankings will decrease. As backlinks are the one which are primarily responsible for rankings.

A broken link or dead link is a link on a web page that no longer works.
