    Hi Mike, thanks for mentioning me, I love that video!
    I notice you’re using an older version of the software – the current version has an improved Option window.

    I just found out about this on a WebProNews link and instantly loved the vid. Concise critique so no yawing and moving on for me. I downloaded it and gave it a try. At first I was shocked by the list. Then I realised it was checking EVERY link – WOW! Next I remembered that my server is set to stop things like leeching – other sites linking to my images. I could exclude the mysite/images/ file and get rid of the “forbidden” tags.

    It now looks healthier, LOL! Still, with almost 70 pages there is a lot of scope for sites to die or change, so this is one program I will be using on a regular basis.

    This is the sort of program that search engines should be giving away free I guess. Just think of the processor time and storage levels they could save. I just wish I had the brains to write simple and fast housekeeping routines like this. I do not so my thanks to everyone who is involved in the project. It is great to get freebees that work first time, with no installation hassle and are just small and neta.

    Well Done!

  10. Thanks for giving your time, knowledge and taking the concerns of others upon yourself by sharing. When I started this site I didn’t know what a server was and I’m still every lost. I’m a good judge of character and everything pertaining to your mannerism in the video verified that you are a reputable man of honor. Could you or someone you recommend critique my sites? I had a SEO that just took me for a ride. I will download the software, thanks. steven
