    Flippin' heck! I just tried that Alexa thing and they say "You should receive a report within 2 to 3 business days." :eek:

    Are they serious? I think my previous post was a little premature.

    I'll have to try Xenu... I've been relying on 404 reports in Awstats for the longest time.

    XML sitemaps shows broken links also plus it is a great sitemap tool.

    Wow, I just tried Xenu and I can't believe it is free. My website is 125 pages and it checked 850 links in about 2 - 3 minutes.

    Xenu is awesome, and they help educate the filthy unwashed masses about how dodgy Scientology is.

    at http://tools.keepni.com
    I downloaded it 3 weeks ago and I like it a lot.
