Link removal is one of the most frustrating problems in reciprocal link building. A partner agrees to place your link, you verify it’s live, and then weeks later they quietly remove it — sometimes intentionally, sometimes during a site redesign. Either way, you lose the SEO value while still hosting their link on your site.
Linkorite’s removal detection system checks your tracked links on a regular cycle. When a link disappears from a partner’s page, the platform immediately flags it and provides context: when the link was last seen, the original agreement details, and the partner’s history of compliance.
The detection goes beyond simple presence checks. Linkorite also catches partial removals — cases where your link is still on the page but has been changed to nofollow, wrapped in JavaScript that search engines can’t follow, or moved to an obscure location that passes no meaningful value.
With fast detection, you can reach out to the partner before the situation becomes adversarial. Many removals are accidental, and a quick, friendly message often resolves the issue within hours.
