A link with an error is called broken links.
when you create any backlink for your website than always keep in mind that you enter the correct target url, some times any spelling mistake or any missing character in url causes your link to not work when any user click on it. Always check before submitting any link otherwise you'll not get the benefit of that link because it is not pointing to your website.
