Check for Broken Links

Dead hyperlinks on websites are not just annoying, their existence may impact your site in several ways

Because of broken or links to old urls a website may:

• Lose some of the existing visitors (current users will sooner or later get frustrated enough to never come back).
• Damage your reputation online (most of online visitors consider stale hyperlinks a demonstration of lack of professionalism).
• Have negative impact on your website's ratings with major Search Engines like Google, Yahoo, Bing etc.

All these present issues that we would like you to avoid.
