@garyson00Aug 21.2013 — A hyperlink which is not functioning, or a link that does not lead to the desired location. Most websites have some broken links, but if there are too many it can indicate poor content, poor upkeep of the site, or both. Too many broken links may cause search engines to rank a page (or even an entire website) as being less relevant.

@tom_amp_jenyOct 21.2013 — Link rot is the process by which hyperlinks point to web pages, servers or other resources that have become permanently unavailable. The phrase also describes the effects of failing to update out-of-date web pages that clutter search engine results. A link that does not work any more is called a broken link, dead link or dangling link.
>The simplest and most common reason is that the website it links to doesn't exist anymore. The most common result of a dead link is a 404 error
