Fixing Dead Links How To Figure Out Where I Put Them
-
I changed the permalinks on our about page from xyz.com/about to xyz.com/about-xyz-newyork
However somewhere on my site I have the old link on a page with the old url.
How do find which pages have my old dead 404 link?
Thanks

If your site is Wordpress driven you can load the "Broken Link Checker" Plugin. It will show you on your dashboard exactly where the broken link is at and give you the option to either fix it or delete the link.

Which one? I mean I am finding the 404s from my campaign reports. Which crawler? opensite?

If you have Google Webmaster Tools, it will show you where all your broken links are. You can also use this broken link tool to crawl your site for broken links, or use a desktop too such as Xenu Link Sleuth or Screaming Frog.

Backlink value of 9Slides.com link
I got a backlink from http://www.9slides.com (site like slideshare) which is cool but I'm trying to compare its worth vs a link from slideshare. It is extra work to create content in slide + video format and its DA is lower- are there any positives I'm missing? Has anyone analyzed this site, any suggestions?

Local SEO: Links with the citations so should I slow down?
Hello, There seems to be some nofollow and dofollow links building as I add structured citations. Is this a reason to slow down the building citation process if you want the links to count? Do they help organic SEO?

Links from Google Books
Hi Interested in your views on this and any references to research on the subject Using Google Books recently I have discovered multiple citations of a web site I produced years ago in a whole load of publication. Really quite touching to find these 10 years afterwards I imagine that this must have a positive effect on search engine listings for this site. The site has really good listings still. Has any research or any announcement been made by Google about this. Pushing this a bit further ; An advertising hoarding has a web site address http:// ... would Google StreetView pick this up and could it be used as a signal too ? Neil PS No I don't sell adversing hoardings 😉
