All these checking programs miss 2 important problems:

1. Dumb web designers that use an HTML refresh or worse a javascript redirect to a new domain

2. Dead domains that are now an adsense site – typically with the domain in the title.

I finally wrote a perl script looking for these.

First, to the commenter Debra, thanks for the link to bad-neighborhood.com. Awesome – great suggestion.

Second, Ann your articles are always great. These are some good tools for sure – I like Xenu’s Link Sleuth too (another suggestion you made a few weeks ago). http://home.snafu.de/tilman/xenulink.html

Michael VanDeMar’s Bad Neighborhood tool is another one that comes in handy when checking outbounds. It scans the links on your website, and on the pages that your website is linking to, and flags possible problem areas. I like it and use it frequently:

Even if you do validate your links, and make sure you are exchanging with well coded related web site it’s still no guarantee that you will get credit for the link. Frustrating as that is it is the reality.

With that being said we still need to have tools that help us monitor the links we work so hard establishing. Perhaps one day ALL of our back links will be counted!
