Broken Links: Avoid Dead Ends on Your Website

Nothing frustrates users (and the Google bot) more than clicking on a link that leads to a "404 - Page Not Found" error message. These faulty connections are called Broken Links.

Why do dead links harm your SEO?

  • Poor User Experience: Visitors leave your site frustrated.
  • Wasted Crawl Budget: Google wastes time on dead pages instead of indexing your new content.
  • Loss of Link Power: Internal links (see our guide Internal Linking) no longer function.
Automatic Scan: With MarketGoo, you don't have to test every link yourself. The tool scans your entire site in the background and immediately reports any dead link so you can fix it.
