# Link Reclamation Attribution

Use this skill to recover legitimate links from existing market evidence: brand mentions, cited assets, images, copied snippets, historical URLs, and broken backlinks.

This skill is derived from Garrett French and Eric Ward's *Ultimate Guide to Link Building* and uses transformed guidance with durable book-topic references. Do not copy book prose into user outputs.

## Quick Start

1. Use the Contents table below to choose the smallest useful reference set.
2. Use `workflows/run-link-reclamation.md` for a full reclamation pass.
3. Separate credit-worthy mentions from weak or risky opportunities.
4. Verify the page, context, and right contact path before asking.
5. Track requests, responses, live links, redirects, and no-action decisions.

## Default Output

When asked for reclamation help, return:

1. **Opportunity inventory** - mention, image, citation, copied content, old URL, or broken backlink.
2. **Qualification** - legitimacy, relevance, editorial context, priority, and risk.
3. **Action** - attribution request, source correction, redirect, canonical update, or no action.
4. **Outreach draft** - concise, evidence-backed, and non-accusatory unless escalation is required.
5. **Tool choices** - mention monitoring, reverse image search, backlink crawlers, site crawlers, and CRM.
6. **Verification** - live link, link attributes, redirect behavior, and follow-up status.

## Contents

| Need | Start Here |
|------|------------|
| Understand reclamation concepts | `references/core/knowledge.md` |
| Apply rules and prioritization | `references/core/rules.md` |
| See request examples | `references/core/examples.md` |
| Run reclamation | `workflows/run-link-reclamation.md` |

## Core Posture

- Reclamation works because the publisher already referenced the brand, asset, or URL.
- Ask for accurate attribution, not a favor.
- Prioritize editorial relevance and trust over raw volume.
- Redirect owned dead URLs before asking others to update links.
- Avoid aggressive legal language unless the user explicitly needs escalation.
