Hi Mark,

Thanks for the tips. I was devastated when I went from being first in my chosen google search keywords to being somewhere on the fifth page.

After checking for broken links it turns out I have tons! I don’t really know why, so will install the broken link plugin and fingers crossed this helps.

Really don’t have a clue about webdesign, really helps when people share their information like this

Storing images in our own server is important. In my earlier posts I didn’t know much about using wordpress images and I just link from other sites and later many turned to broken images. You have given good tip.

I have a doubt regarding broken links. If I change my wordpress url by changing permalinks will that become broken links?

I think you should check the manually as well. Sometimes, these broken link checkers might miss. So you should try to use the 2 step policy

Mark, great points, I would like to mention, In some cases, it might better for some sites to store their images of site. Server site optimzed for serving images. This can speed up your site if the site uses a lot of images or is portfolio site. If your site loads to slow, Google will count that is against you…My site still serves its own images, but eventually I will move the images off server…but right now, I do not have that many images.

Really really awesome post and very helpful for us, the readers.

I have really experience of this, because i changed the permalink from monthyearpostname to only postname, and then changing from non www to www. What happened was my blog was completely gone from SERPs, i was so panic.

I wish i found this post at that time, but then i went to DP and ask there and here. One cool person suggest me to do 301 redirects. So i wait for a few weeks, until my site is back again, that was really tough experience.

I guess people need patience too after doing your tips above.

Sunil……….You are a huge lifesaver. All of my sites are WordPress blogs and ran into this problem of broken links not long ago linking to some other niche related blogs that the owner took down or there host provider did, one or the other.
Thanks for your recommendation of the WP plugin. Hope I don’t run into this problem any longer.

How timely as I just encountered a broken links problem today (linking to a blog listing). Funny thing is I could see the images (even though I constantly clear my cache), but a friend called to let me know the images were showing as a red X. I’m a little baffled by that. I’m going to install the Broken Links plugin. Didn’t know about that.

Opening my Google webmasters page to check for broken links is part of my weekly maintenance. Saying that I never knew Google punishes for broken links.

I also have the plug-in that Sunil mentioned.

Hello Mark
Thanks to WordPress for having Broken Link checker plugin, which looks after all redirects and outbound links

When it comes to images , people always name the images as 1.jpg, 125.jpg, …etc. So for better SEO optimization we should give proper names with “-” instead of space, if the name is more than a word. Even “alt” tags matters a lot and still there is a big dispute going on between SEO experts what matters more important “ALT tag” or “Image names”.

But some we must follow both for better indexing of our images and ranking higher in the image search.

Thanks Mark
Enjoyed reading ^-^

Great tips Mark. I never knew that Google marks down our site if they find out any broken links.

Better be vigilant regarding links next time!
