    Hi all,
    Recently I have been getting a lot of dead links in my reports.

    The problem I have is finding were they are. I have a few sites and have been trying a number of different plugins and adding links for both Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk

    I am getting dead links from both sites and wondered is there a way to track them back to their source?

    Any help is appreciated

    Do you mean broken links appearing at your site or missing items links on Amazon site?

    Sorry for not explaining properly.
    In my Amazon associate reports under 'Items With No Orders' there have been quite a few 'Title Not Available' then a product string.
    I originally assumed it meant the product was no longer available but when I clicked through it took me to a page with this message..

    "Looking for something?
    We're sorry. The Web address you entered is not a functioning page on our site

    Go to Amazon.com's Home Page"

    At first I only had a few of these but recently have been getting quite a lot.

    You should check your link on your site frequently.

    I have hundreds of links. To check them frequently would take too much time.

    StatCounter
    The detailed report is to collect statistics on the site. Link your site to check.

    Installed StatCounter and will now monitor my exit links to check which ones are broken. Thanks a lot you guys.
