This time, I am moving towards SEO. The main part of SEO which is ignored by all is related with broken links. Broken links are those which results in a 404 error. Such links will result in reducing the page rank of your site.

Today, I am going to introduce you with a software which is used to find out all broken links on your site. The software is xenu's link sleuth. It is a desktop software which can identify broken links on your site which are no more available. Of course, the time for the overall process depends on various factors like the size of your site, your internet bandwidth and also the speed of your server.

This software searches for broken links arising from text links, image links, frames, plugins, local maps, stylesheets, scripts and java applets.

This small simple software has features like creation of report, which is even emailable. Also it has a feature to re test broken links which may arise due to network problems. It also reports redirections like 301 and 302.

You can download the software here.
