Google webmaster is an great tool to help us with 404 reports. In some cases it´s impossible to check all pages and with this tool we can correct the broken links and set the redirects correctly.

Great post!

With a combination of log-file analysis (awstats is fine), Xenu, Google’s WMT and .htaccess I have been able to put many 404 dead links to good SEO use – all adding to the number of in-links for my sites. I estimate about 10% extra links

BTW, 50% of bad links are not due to errors on my sites, but due to errors in the linking sites. Either Webmaster errors or link parsing/creation errors…

It’s a bit like analytics too. If you get stumbled, you can’t find out much info from google analytics. Plough through your log files and you can find out the refering SU page for real.

Very nice article… I manage a huge site and have very easy access to this info from our internal software. I will give you some feedback once I see what the difference is between Google Webmaster Tools and the log files. Thanks!
