What is Broken Link?

A broken link is a link that doesn't work, often resulting in an error page. A broken link happens when the link points to a web page that has been deleted or moved.
Links that are broken will effectively stop search engines from completely indexing your website. Fixing or removing broken links from your website allows search engines to completely index and tells search engines that your website is not being neglected. As part of the optimization process we will test your Website's links and repair or remove any broken ones.

Exactly. I agree with you!
 
Broken links are web links or URLs in your website that are unreachable. In simple terms broken links are URLs in your website that are not functioning or opening. Broken links are considered to be of negative value as far as SEO perspective of a website is concerned.
 
A broken link is a link on a web page that no longer works. Broken links can be problematic for users of a web site as they are unable to access the desired resource and may decide to make use of another site to find the necessary information or service.
 
A broken link or dead link is a link on a web page that no longer works because the website is encountering one or more of the reasons below.
An improper URL entered for the link by the website owner.
The destination website removed the linked web page (causing what is known as a 404 error)
The destination website permanently moved or no longer exists
The user has software or is behind a firewall that blocks access to the destination website.
The website owner linked to a site that is behind a firewall that does not allow outside access (such as an Intranet site or a restricted access area on a website).
Broken links can be problematic for website visitors, making them unable to access the desired resource or information. These users may decide to make use of another site to find the necessary information elsewhere. A site that hasn't been updated or checked for a long time may suffer from link rot, which is a term used to describe a site with dozens of broken links.
