A couple of years ago, I was interviewed for podcast. Of course I linked to it in one of my blog posts as well as my own podcast show notes.<\/p>\n

About a year or so later I received an email from one of my podcast listeners informing me that a link on my site was going to a porn site!<\/p>\n

*Gulp*<\/strong><\/p>\n

I quickly went back to the post she mentioned and realized that the podcast had podfaded. He had let go of the url, and the url was now a porn site! I had linked to that url at least 5 times on my site.<\/p>\n

That was when I began to make checking my links of great importance.<\/p>\n

Websites, blogs, podcasts, media links come and go. As I initially browsed through my blogroll I realized that almost half of what I was linking to was no longer in existence. This made me have to get really clear about cleaning up my all my links.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a little check list to help you keep your links all nice and clean \ud83d\ude42<\/h2>\n
