Fix Those Broken Links Before They Break You

Writing by Nick Stamoulis Tweet

One of the things that can put a hamper real quick in whether or not your site is a long-term success are the links. Broken links can kill you quickly. If you have enough broken links you will lose some authority and when that happens you’ll just end up losing PageRank, traffic, and who knows what else. It is critical that you fix your broken links before they fix you.

There are plenty of link checkers online that you can use to check your links to make sure you don’t have any broken. Some SEO tools include a link checker. But there is a free link checker that you use to check your internal site links.

The W3 link checker not only checks for broken links, but it will also tell you about other link issues such as unresolvable hostname issues, HTTP Head issues, and redirects.

Fixing broken links is one of the most important things a webmaster can do. Whether you have 1 link or 1,000 links, internal links or outbound links, check them today. Don’t delay and check your internal site links before they break you!
