I found a very nice website to find dead links. (NOT AN AFFILIATE LINK)

I stumbled upon this site called dead-links.com and it's very nice.

I tried this on my site and I discovered I had a couple of dead links. Oh, and sorry for posting it in here. I had no other place to put it in. I suggest you should add a forum for people who found informative websites. Maybe you can call it "Information Hog".

Thank You for the link

Just found 4 dead links on one of my sites. And I will fix them ASAP.

Nice. I have been looking for a tool to do something like this.

I used that tool last a couple of weeks ago and it picked up some dead links on some of my sites. It uses a spider, but there are some limitations

I will use this tool in conjunction with Google webmaster tools to check my links.

Google websmaster tools show you broken links and where their spiders can't get access to

I had a really good site for doing the same thing. I had the site bookmarked, but during one of my computer crashes I lost the URL. Thanks for this links I'll go and try this one.

There is a wonderful tool that is a must have if you are a webmaster. It has an option for finding dead links, images and just about any other option you could think of. I've been using it for a couple of months now and I couldn't live without it. It only works on a few browsers but if you have Firefox then you're set.

That's a very good point you raise. I recall using Google webmaster tool for finding broken links and links which Google couldn't spider. I'd forgotten about that Google service until you reminded me of it.
