Free online broken link checker

Have you ever been experienced with broken links? If you own a website, it also may have some broken links. Having broken links is not good as they reduce your page rankings in search engines like Google, Yahoo, etc...

When your site (or a page) has one or more broken links, when the search engine's spider comes to index your page, it detects those errors and thus your page rank goes down. If you have few pages in your websites with few links, you may find broken links manually and correct them.

But, when there are many, say thousands of pages, and they have lots of links, it is impractical to check all the links manually. How to check then?

There are so many websites on the net, providing broken link checkers for free. Here is the one which I use :

iWebTool

iWebTool provides you a free link checker. Just check your site and correct all your broken links.

What are the other ways to find broken links?

You may add a link to ask your user to send some sort of report, (eg: e-mail) when they come across any broken link pages in your website.

Anyhow, using a tool easier. iWebTool also provides a lots of other online tools to assists you. Just visit to the above link and find out what they have more than this broken link checker.

Note: iWebTool gives you few tries (5 times - not sure) per hour. If you want their extended service you may need to register with them.
