Check For Broken Links On Your Website – Sitewide Test
Blurb by Shaun Anderson (Hobo)Â
From observations I’ve made, broken links could well be the difference between you ranking well or rankings taking a tumble. No matter what you think, from a usability and best practice point of view, a site with broken links is just well, unfriendly, and professional.
Use this seo tool to check for broken links and dead links.
I’ve noticed the tool doesn’t handle Redirects all the time correctly (I think) returning false positives. The W3C recommend this tool, so it must be of some worth. It’s surprising just how fast link-rot sets in, even on a fairly well maintained site like Hobo.
Did you know when you link to a Hobo SEO post we have search engine friendly links back to your site if approved? Our comments are also search engine friendly you know (once you've commented on a few posts)! Do you need any more encouragement to get involved in the conversation ;)
