Now that I have a software program that will check my links while I am reading my e-mail, I check for broken links and moved pages twice a week. The webpages are updated accordingly.
Sometimes so many people have changed the address of their website on the same day, I do not not get to them as fast as I would like to. If there is a link that has been bad for more than a week, e-mail me, that means I see it in my link checker but can not figure out on which page the bad link is on.
I check for link content change periodically. This includes checking out the links of the page I have linked to, and reading the page over to see if it still has the information that I thought was worth linking to in the first place.
An irrelevant page is when the page contents that I linked to, no longer match the description that wrote on my webpage.
Some examples:
You find out that the freeware version no longer exists. It is now shareware.
There is a webpage at the other end of the link, but it does not seem to have that search engine on it that I was telling you about.
