Framework: Broken Image Asset Reclamation

Framework: Broken Image Asset Reclamation

Infographics get hotlinked, then the host moves them. The link breaks but the embed stays.

A client ran this on one popular chart and earned 11 links.

1. Reverse-image-search your most-linked asset, list pages embedding it (found 73 embeds).
2. QA gate: which embeds now show a broken image (the host moved the file)? 18 broken.
3. Re-host the asset at a stable URL on your domain.
4. Outreach: 'Your embed is broken, here's the working source with attribution.'
5. Batch in one send of 18.

Result: 11 fixed embeds, all with a fresh dofollow link to your asset page.

Definition of done: stable URL live, 18 contacted, links logged.

Automation fits at step 2 (broken-image detection via headless check).
