When was the last time you ran Xenu link checker (or any similar tool) on your site? Every so often I like to remind everyone to check for links leading to 404s. No matter how diligent I am about keeping my sites up to date, I never fail to find some bad links when I run Xenu. Why do I care, you may ask? Because in the past, I've found that getting rid of links that lead to nowhere can help my rankings (note that I have no absolute proof that there is a correlation between dumping bad links and rankings, but it *seems* to work for me). So there's your tiny tip o' the day. 🙂
