Broken links are links that don’t work. They lead to nowhere. When you click on it, you see a 404 page or you are being redirected to the home page, sometimes it is just a blank screen (not a very good way to deal with broken links).
Some of the reasons why links don’t work include:
While it is obviously unpleasant for users to click on such links, search engines also don't like (i.e. won't rank a website very high) when a website is full of doors to Narnia.
- A website is no longer available
- A webpage was moved without a redirect being added
- The URL structure of a website was changed
Admittedly Casey, I had to scroll back up to figure out what I said... in MAY Your definition of "broken" is accurate, but Alex and I were going down the same path. I suspect Newbie meant that the listing links associated to his/her dealership were not accurate. Alex made a good suggestion with Vendasta. Hopefully, Newbie stuck around long enough to see it.
Happy Friday and Last Day of the Month to all. May your month already be made and today be the icing on the cake!
