Link reclamation: know a link is really gone, then win it back
TaskGlaze re-checks every link you earned, confirms a loss in a real browser before it tells you, names the reason, and keeps the contact on the same record, so the email asking for it back is one step away.
Why lost links stay lost
Links you earned disappear all the time. Most are never recovered, because nobody notices or the alert can't be trusted.
Nobody notices
A link is removed or switched to nofollow, and the first sign is a ranking slip weeks later.
Alerts cry wolf
Anti-bot walls and timeouts look like missing links to a simple checker, so teams learn to ignore the alerts.
"Lost" isn't a reason
A 404, a redirect, a login wall and a removed link each need a different email. A bare "lost" doesn't tell you which.
The contact is somewhere else
Who placed the link, and with whom, sits in an old thread, so the recovery email never gets written.
How link reclamation works, step by step
Reclamation is the cheapest link building there is: the site linked to you once, so a polite, specific note often brings the link back.
Know what you have
You can only reclaim links you know about. Track the ones you built, and look for ones you earned without trying.
In TaskGlazeEvery placement you win is a tracked row. Backlink analysis can also pull the links your own domain has lost, including ones you never built yourself.
Backlink analysisCheck them on a schedule
Links change quietly. Re-check every one regularly, matching the exact page it should point to.
In TaskGlazePlacements are re-checked on your plan's schedule, up to daily on Agency, with exact URL matching and the rel value recorded each time.
Link monitoringConfirm the loss is real
Before you email anyone, make sure the link really is gone and it isn't a blocked or broken check.
In TaskGlazeA loss is confirmed in a real headless browser before it's reported. A removal needs two consecutive checks, a routine blip three, an anti-bot wall ten.
Link monitoringFind out why
The reason decides the email: a moved page needs a redirect, a removed link needs a reminder, a nofollow switch needs a conversation.
In TaskGlazeEach failed check names one of 16 reasons, including 404, 410, server error, redirect, login wall, anti-bot challenge and link removed. If the page redirects, you see where.
Link monitoringAsk for it back
Write to the person who placed it, name the page and what changed, and make the fix easy.
In TaskGlazeThe contact and the full history are on the same prospect record. Send from your own mailbox, and the follow-up stops when they reply.
Email outreachConfirm the recovery
When the link returns, make sure it's back on the right page and dofollow.
In TaskGlazeA recovered link clears the loss properly, so if it drops again you hear about it again.
Link monitoring
Built to be trusted
A loss alert is only useful if it's right.
A daily digest, not a flood
On Starter, Pro and Agency, losses arrive in one daily email with the reason for each. Changes such as a switch to nofollow show in the app.
Page-level directives count
A page that adds noindex or nofollow, or an X-Robots-Tag header, downgrades a dofollow verdict even if the link itself didn't change.
Progress you can watch
While inconclusive checks build up, the app shows how many strikes a placement has taken against its threshold.
Re-check by hand anytime
Run a manual check on any placement whenever you've emailed a site and want to see if the fix is live.

Frequently asked questions
Questions teams recovering lost links ask us most. Can't find yours? Write to us and a real person will answer.
It depends on how often the placement is checked: weekly or monthly on Starter, every 3 days on Pro, and daily on Agency. A confirmed removal needs two consecutive checks to agree before it's reported.
On Starter, Pro and Agency, yes, as one daily digest with the reason for each loss. Other changes, such as a dofollow link switched to nofollow or sponsored, are flagged in the app. On the trial and lifetime plan, everything shows in the app only.
That's what it's built to avoid. A negative result from a plain fetch is re-checked in a real browser before it counts, and an anti-bot wall needs ten consecutive failures before the word "lost" is used.
Yes. Run backlink analysis on your own domain and pull the links it has lost as well as the ones it holds. Send the ones worth recovering to the CRM.
One check of one link. A prospect with four monitored placements uses four each time it's re-checked. A manual preview check is always free.
