Link Checkers

Hello,

The tech is making a script to check all the links, keep hoping to not invent the wheel again. These cannot come close to checking the site, however good for small sites.

I have over 50,000 links on Hobo and 5 million on Hobohideout.com

Try to check dead links, etc is full time job, we have cleaned already about 2000 from submissions in the DB part of HoboTraveler.com site.

I keep thinking, I should be able to buy off a shelf, most are somehow connected also to my computer speed.

This program I used for years.

Xenu, Google.com algorithm has started to penalize sites with broken links more and any HTML problem, Yahoo.com has always done this harshly and it the reason why they are not number one, you have always had to beg with Yahoo or be a perfect webmaster to work with them, more or less they go for paid sites and not any of the non-professional types.

Very difficult to check and fix links, I am glad I learn more or less what types of links break.

Thank you,
