I reviewed some link checkers, but they only check links INSIDE the website. I'm more interested in checking the other websites that I link to and if those links are still active.

I have a client who is a manufacturers rep and they of course list a lot of manufacturers links on their website to different products. Sometimes, these products change on the website or become obsolete.

Is there a way to check those types of links.

Your help is appreciated.

I use a Firefox extension to do link checks.. works on ALL links. It's called Link Evaluator.

What if I primarily use IE?

Okay, now I'm embarassed. I just read your signature.
Do you still want to talk to me? (lol)

I did read the specs on the Link Evaluator. It seems to me you run it per page. Is there a way to do per website? This website has 50+ pages.

Also, you inspired me to use my nickname that my clients call me in my signature. Thanks for keeping things fun.

A quick google search yields: http://www.dead-links.com/

Take a look at -> http://www.tek-tips.com/viewthread.c...=909472&page=1

One day I will write the program for doing this

I use a link sleuth tool called Xenu. It is simple and almost unheard of, but very good.

www.Dead-Links.com works AWESOME! What an eye opener. Now the work begins.

Thank you so much for recommending this product.

Then you have bigger problems than dead links.

I have checked the links you have said but it doesnt show anything and it is not working....I wanted as well to check my external links

Hi crush25,

I just used the dead links website again and it worked fine. Turns out there are a few more broken links on my website. (so thanks for updating this post)

I don't provide support for the website, so I really don't know why it didn't work for you.

But if you type in your web address in the field, click submit. you might have to wait 5 minutes before you get a complete report. I only have 75 pages on my website and it took at 5 minutes. If you have more page, it might take longer.

I hope this helps.
Michelle

I just downloaded this the other day to check for broken links, it worked great and it's free.
