LinkRot.io watches every backlink you paid for and tells you how much of your link budget is rotting right now. Every day it checks that the page is live, your link is still on it, still dofollow and indexable, with the anchor unchanged. Each link keeps its price in any currency, so dead and at-risk links add up to one number, with a Fix first list and an email the day a link breaks. It also flags pages that block AI crawlers, and its MCP server lets your AI assistant ask what is rotting.
Hi Product Hunt, I'm Zsolt. I've bought links for a living, and I built LinkRot.io because the links I paid for kept quietly breaking.
A sponsored post gets deleted, a nofollow appears six months later, a page is set to noindex, the anchor changes. Nobody tells you, and the money is simply gone. Backlink monitors' own data put the first-year loss at 14 to 17% of links. And it is not only Google any more: AI assistants answer from the same pages.
LinkRot.io does one thing: it checks every link you paid for, every day, and turns the broken ones into one number in your currency, with the links to fix first and the reason for each one, so you can go back to the seller with proof.
Paste a list or import any CSV export: AI reads it, prices in any currency
Page alive, link present, dofollow, indexable, anchor, paid term, Google lookup once a month
Once a week: does the site's robots.txt block the crawlers of ChatGPT search, Claude, Perplexity or Gemini on the page you paid for
An email the day a link breaks, or one weekly digest
An MCP server: ask your AI assistant what is rotting and which links to fix first, or have it add the links you just bought
What it does not do: no backlink discovery, no rank tracking, no outreach. Just the links you bought.
You can check 5 of your bought links for free on the homepage, no signup.
For launch, the Founding Lifetime offer is still open: 300 links for a one-time $149, 50 seats. Every plan has a 14-day refund.
I'd love to hear how you keep track of your bought links today, and what you would want LinkRot.io to catch.
