How to fix broken product roundups when half your list is discontinued

Dead links in roundups destroy conversions and SEO. When a product is discontinued, don't just delete the section. Find the closest modern equivalent or the direct successor. Replacing a dead item with the current market leader in that category maintains the article's value and search relevance.

Update high-traffic pages by swapping the content but keeping the structure. Add a small note at the top of the section explaining the update. This prevents users from bouncing when they see the specific model they searched for is no longer available.

Check comparison tables and summary boxes. Discontinued items often remain in "Top Pick" tables even after the body text is changed. Ensure all "Pros and Cons" lists match the new recommendation to avoid a confusing user experience.

Scanning top roundups for "out of stock" status is the most efficient way to recover lost affiliate revenue without writing new posts.
