As dynamic web sites change, their links quickly become obsolete. Before users complain, or search engine indexes grow stale, professional webmasters use software to find those broken links. While free services such as W3 Validator are fine for occasional use, serious web sites require a service that does the following:
- Runs automatically, at least once a week
- Dives deep into your site to find all broken links
- E-mails the errors to you immediately
LinkTiger broken link checker is the best service I’ve found. It graphically shows you exactly where your broken links are. A service such as this is great for dynamic websites, to ensure that search engines and users can see all your pages.
