Link Verification programs
Link verification programs are very valuable to any web author that has links to other sites. What these programs do is automatically check all of your links for you saving you time. All you have to do is tell them which page has your links and then tell the program to check your links. In a matter of a few seconds to several minutes depending on how large your link database is. These programs will tell you which links no longer work, ones that are being redirected due to site modifications or relocations, and whether the site was even connectable.
