Find & Fix Link Errors from Dashboard With Broken Link Checker

Posted on by

Broken LInk CheckeDo you have broken links on your website? Do you even know if you do?  I thought I had my linking structure under control and perfect…until I installed the Broken Links Checker Plugin, and let it loose on my database.  Wow!  It was a revelation. And when I checked, it was all true! All the Broken Links and Link Errors that this plugin reveled were indeed dodgy (a technical term) or not working at all and going to Page 404 Errors – all broken links.

So why did I think my Linking structure was fine?  Because I frequently check my Attracta Broken Links Report that comes as an Extra Tool with most Website Hosting Accounts, and here is what it was showing before I installed the Broken Link Checker Plugin. Continue reading →

Find Missing Image Alt Tags Fast – Free Alt Text Checker Tool

Posted on by

missing alt tagsDo you have missing Alt Texts on any of your images?  You probably think you don’t . That’s what I thought, anyway, because we all know we have to add Alt Tags to images.  That is basic SEO.  So of course we always add Alt Tags, (also known as Alt Texts), to all the images we upload, right?  Of course we do.

However….when I went to the AboutUs website, and got a Free SEO WebSite Report, there it was in black and white (it might have been red) ‘Some of your Images do not have Alt Tags!’. Aaaah!

If you haven’t already visited the AboutUs.org website to get a Free Website Report and Dofollow backlinks, check out my article: How to Get Free SEO Site Report AND Juicy Page Rank 5 Dofollow Links. Continue reading →

How To Get Free SEO Site Reports AND Juicy Dofollow Links

aboutus.orgFree Site Reports AND Juicy Dofollow links? That sounds too good to be true, but that is exactly what you can get at the AboutUs.org site.  We all like free stuff, right? And we all need to know that our SEO is well optimized, because that will increase our online visibility in Search Engine Results, right?

That’s the theory, anyway.  It’s a brave blogger (stupid blogger?) who ignores their SEO – Search Engine Optimization.

The purpose of SEO is to make sure that Google web crawlers, and other web crawlers, will be able to ‘see’ all the goodies that we have posted on our blog – and see them easily because we have a well organized and well Optimized Structure for our blog with all our Title tags, Alt tags and Meta tags in place, exactly how Google likes them.

If you are not sure why it’s important to know how web crawlers ‘see’ web pages, and why they don’t see your website in the same way that humans do, you need to brush up on your SEO knowledge. My Category called SEO: Optimization covers much of the basics that every blogger needs to know about. Continue reading →
