Check Your Web Links Regularly

A Web page full of links, particularly to other organizations, should be checked at least every few months. Authors of the linked sites may have rearranged their webs, which will turn your links into "not found," or other error messages.

Even worse, links to .org or .com sites can be bought by someone else, including advertisers, if the original organization drops the address. In that case, your link could go to a page that has information different than the original topic. It may be information that doesn't belong on a university Web page.
