<b>Dead Image & Asset Link Tactic</b>

<b>Dead Image & Asset Link Tactic</b>
Links don't only die on pages — embedded images, PDFs, and infographics 404 too, and almost nobody pitches them.

1. Crawl competitor pages capturing all asset URLs (img src, PDF, downloadable links).
2. Status-check every asset URL, not just anchor links.
3. Flag 404'd images/infographics that have referring domains hotlinking them.
4. Recreate the asset (updated infographic, rehosted PDF) on your domain.
5. Pitch sites still embedding the dead asset.
6. Automation fits at steps 1-2: a crawler config that extracts and pings asset URLs.

Definition of done: dead assets with live embeds are catalogued and a replacement asset is hosted before outreach.
