    I found lots of good tools which just tell me broken links, but i need locations of these links on my site. As my site has thousands of pages and i am unable to find out those broken links' locations from the site.

    Hope for your help. :(

    In addition you can use this tools to find 404 Page Not Found errors, it help you to redirect visitors away from the 404 pages to most relevant page.

    One more vote for Xenu.
    It's also useful for creating sitemaps.

    I use Web Link Validator. You can download it here: http://www.relsoftware.com/wlv/downloads/

    It finds broken links, bad spelling, slow pages and more. It also tells you the location and text line of the broken links, bad spelling etc.

    With good domains being purchased or redirected or parked, most of the tools (I haven't checked lately) are still relatively useless. Because they can not report back on the content on the other end. It can help if the link is truly broken, but what if the link returns a site but the site is new or parked or?

    Don't build sites that are not manageable.

    This is why if you are serious about marketing online you should invest in a CMS system like Joomla, Wordpress, or Drupal, or... Because your links that appear on multiple pages can be managed with a single change.

    Dead links are a real problem for large sites especially if they are not part of a CMS.

    And it's a good habit to quote a source on a page but not link out to it because as pages are archived you could end up linking to bad sites and not even know it.

    One of the first things I do is run an xml sitemap, submit it google webmaster tools and check that stuff there.

    I use this plus Google's Webmaster Tools to monitor my site for broken links. Both will tell you on which page(s) the broken links occur. Both are free.

    I agree for the most part although I would take a slightly different approach on:

    IMO if the source is totally reliable, trusted then by all means link to them with a followed link. If you're talking about something they have written or said then they deserve the link.

    If you are not willing to vouch for your source 100% as being reliable, trusted domain but the site has been around for a while then I would probably still link to them yet I would nofollow the link.

    In the case of linking to brand new sites or blogs which seem to come and go by the millisecond, until they are a well established site/blog I would probably take the approach of the poster and simply give the source domain or something without an actual hyperlink to them.
