In this era of blogging where almost every niche is becoming
competitive you might just be too busy doing other things that can make your
blogging business boom up or to win your competitors ,not knowing that
something somewhere is affecting your blog negatively.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In this case am talking about nothing else other than <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">broken links, </b>yes they are<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"> </b>very bad and can affect your blog
negatively. This broken links are some sometimes referred to as <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">dead links</b> or even <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">404 links </b>by<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"> </b>most people<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">, </b>they are all the same<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">.</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This broken links are dead links (both internal and
external) which is not redirecting to anywhere else other than the 404 error
page, this is caused due to the blogger or webmaster deleting the page that you
are linking to or changing the permalink. Did you get it or are you still
confused about what I just explained? If yes, ok let me give an example:-</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I have a website where I am giving out free eBooks and you
now took to your blog to tell your readers about my website that I am sharing
free eBooks there, on the process you would try to link out to my blog
(external link), I might decide later on that am not going to be sharing free
eBooks anymore on my blog and maybe decide to delete that blog or webpage, if I
do so that your link that is pointing at that my particular webpage would be
pointing to a 404 page , why? Because the actual webpage that it was linking to
do no longer exist and the link will now be termed as a broken (dead) link. The
same thing is applicable if I decide to change the permalink. Hope you got it
right now?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Broken links is not good both in human eye and that of the
search engines, that’s why google recommended that you should regularly check
for broken links on your blog or website.</div>
