Always Check Your Links!!

This is a very basic bit of advice, but I have noticed that far too many people have broken links on their sites. You should always check your links when posting them to make sure they work and go where they should!

I'm not just talking about old, dead links to sites that no longer exist, as we all miss a few of those from ancient posts we haven't seen in months or years. I'm referring to fresh, new posts and site links in forums where you typed in the wrong url or missed a letter somewhere and now the link goes nowhere.

I've seen several of these in LinkReferral lately and it amazes and disturbs me that someone would go through all the trouble to set up an account there to promote their website and then not check to make sure the link to their site even works!

This mistake happens far too often on blogs as well where someone is promoting an affiliate url or download page and when you click on it there is nothing, so you lose the potential customer. Don't let that happen to you!

Always check your links when posting to make sure they all work!!
