Broken Links: How Important is to Remove Broken Links From Your Blogs?
It’s good to write regular blog posts. However, that is not enough and you need to check your blog health periodically as well. If your blog contains broken links, Google will stop sending traffic to your blog posts. It is therefore essential to remove broken/dead links from your blog posts to avoid low ranking by Google. Please keep reading…..
What is a broken link? If you are writing regular blog posts, you might have given links to other web pages from your blogs. Sometimes some of the web pages that you have already from your blogs linked may become no longer available on the World Wide Web. These dead links are called broken links. Google considers blogs with broken links as dead blogs. Google will not send any traffic to such blogs with broken links. If your blog has many broken links, Google would rank your blog low due to this.
YouTube videos broken links: You might have added YouTube videos on your blogs. Some of the YouTube videos that you have uploaded already on your blogs may not be working now. You should remove such videos from your blogs. Of course you can add another video that would substitute the video that you have removed.
Broken links, how important is to remove them from your blogs? It’s now evident that removing broken links from your blog posts is very important. You should periodically check your blog posts for broken links. If you find them, you should immediately remove them.
Summary: Blogs with broken links are treated as dead blogs by Google. Needless to say that Google will not send traffic to dead blogs. Therefore every blogger should periodically check their blog posts for broken links and remove them. This is very important if you want to get huge traffic to your blogs. Remember, more traffic means you can make more money from your blogs. Thanks for reading.

This is very good information. I’m going to go back and remove a you-tube video from one of my posts.

Ya it’s very good info. Very useful. But how can we find out that whether they are broken or not???
October 31st, 2011 at 1:25 pm
Thanks. You’re very well informed about Google’s practices. I know how true your info is because I recently did some research on a celebrity. Various bloggers’ derivative articles came up higher on the page than the original source story because the original had a broken link–and the original was on E! Online, which is usually very high on the page.

Thanks for pointing this out. I would never have realised there were such things as dead links otherwise.

Great info..thanks for sharing

Hello, love Doctor, glad you found the info useful.

Hi, Chandraa, You can check each blog link by clicking on them. Or you can instal a software that would help you to detect the broken links on your blog posts.

Hi, Morqjonz, you are right and you learn better with practical experiences.
October 31st, 2011 at 9:38 pm
Good suggestion. I had not thought of that. With online writing, including blogs, we are usually busy with what we are writing now, and hope to write in the future. Therefore, we do not go back and maintain what we already have out there.
Good idea.

Good advise. But sometime we don’t know if the link is broken.

Excellent article, I constantly review my articles with links and videos to make sure this doesn’t happen to me. I am one that gets irritated when I am reading an article that I cannot get to a link or video. But I am not mean about it. I simply send the author a message, letting them know.
