Broken links!

The broken link syndrome is a huge internet problem. Why?
A link on a website when clicked on may work, and usually does unless it is a real mess. None the less, spiders that crawl a webpage see this very differently. It only needs a quick change by the webmaster to redirect a link in what may seem to be a better direction or a change in font boldness and with no more ado, the link may thereafter halt a spider dead there and then because of some HTML foul-up.
The result will be a very probable non-indexation of a page from the website or a non-indexation of a powerful keyword and this in itself may well in the coming future ban the website all together. Even an old link that mistakenly sits in the source page can create havoc.
Considering that the SE (search engines) have the end user in mind and not the webmaster for their relevant response to queries, it is of utmost importance to check the spider friendliness regularly in this matter. There are many free programs on the Internet that provide for these check-ups, Google for ‘broken links’ and give the website a spring cleaning, this also helps obviously for page and keyword rankings. (The competition is getting tighter by the day!)
