Best 404 Error Checker?
-
I have a client with a lot of 404 errors from Web Master Tools, and i have to go through and check each of the links because
- Some redirect to the correct page
- Some redirect to another url but its a 404 error
- Some are just 404 errors
Does anyone know of a tool where i can dump all of the urls and it will tell me
- If the url is redirected, and to where
- if the page is a 404 or other error
Any tips or suggestions will be really appreciated!
Thanks SEO Moz'rs

Check out the free Xenu Link Sleuth and this post: http://www.seomoz.org/blog/xenu-link-sleuth-more-than-just-a-broken-links-finder
I haven't used it myself (yet), but Screaming Frog could help as an alternative, though the full version is paid. This post compares the two: http://www.seomoz.org/blog/crawler-faceoff-xenu-vs-screaming-frog

Have you tried the SEOmoz Crawl Diagnostics report? That will show the 404 errors and the pages on the site that have the links to those pages.
