Broken Links

One of the absolute worst things a Search Engine spider can find on a website is a broken or redirected link. A broken link is one that goes no place. The link is there and points to a page that does not exist. The result can be either a 404 error page or a 403 redirect to another page. In either case the spider tags your site with an error. With a few errors on a single page the spider will stop crawling your site and tag it as a don’t index website. That is a catastrophe for your business. What’s even worse is the difficulty of keeping up with changing web pages and web sites. If you link to web pages on other websites you must regularly check to make sure those links are still active. You must also check to see if the page you are linking to is the actual page that loads in the web browser. If it isn’t than you should remove the link or change it to point to the actual page. Many websites use an .htaccess class to instruct the web server how to respond to certain types of errors like a missing page. When the instruction for a missing page is to send a different page, this is called a redirect. For a website it is a good thing because it keeps the customer supplied with content from the site. However, because of the unscrupulous use of purposefully redirecting customers by some webmasters over the years, the search engines classify redirected web pages as errors – even worse than a missing page (404 error).

Keeping your website current pays off big by making sure the Search Engine spiders don’t classify your site as out-of-date.
