Link Maintenance
An absolute link that works today may not work tomorrow
Dead links frustrate visitors and detract from your Web pages.
"Error 404 not Found"
To keep all of your links operational, you have to test them periodically and update any that have died.
Please personalize the deafult 404 page with a map of the site or a search tool or a preconfigured search tool.
Automated Link Checkers
If you have a large number of links, you should automate the process of link testing.
You can subscribe to a Web-based service for link testing and weekly or monthly link reports.
E.g. :
http://www.linkalarm.com/
You can obtain your own link testing software and run it yourself.
