]]> I’ve been doing at least some kind of web development work now for around 13 years. It started with nothing real official, just a new computer and this thing called the world wide web. I wanted to get some personal space out there somewhere and decided to teach myself HTML and web publishing.

LinkTiger

In all that time of development one of the things you always had to pay attention to is making sure your links on your web pages were always valid. Whether you’re linking to content within your own site, or linking out to other pages a broken link is more than useless, it’s annoying! If the Internet’s not about connectivity and linking, then what’s it really about?

The LinkTiger website and service lets you enter the URL for your site and it will run out there and hunt down any broken links on your site.

Haven’t you ever clicked on an interesting hyperlink and got a "page-not-found" error? That was very annoying, wasn’t it? Can you imagine how many customers have left that website in that way? LinkTiger.com alerts you on those broken links, so you can have it fixed, before your customer sees it.

Just like LinkTiger says about their own service, let’s face it, if you get a dead-link while you’re surfing a website you’re pretty irritated right? Most of the time do you really start trying to figure out what’s wrong with the site itself, or do you go somewhere else looking for the answer? I’d say the latter. Use LinkTiger to help keep your visitors successfully enjoying your website longer!

Uncover all those broken links on your websites with LinkTiger.

I uncovered this little gem of a post while reading an Issue #319 of the WXPNews e-mail newsletter. Their newsletter always includes a list of their “Fav Links”. This week one was included of another blog post that listed some domain names that have some unintended meanings if you rearrange the break in words of the domain.

Here are a couple of my favorites:

  1. Looking for a new pen? Try Pen Island at www.penisland.com
  2. Looking for some power in Italy? Try www.powergenitalia.com
  3. Looking for some new art work fast? Try www.speedofart.com

Visit the original website for the other 7, which are a riot too.

Do you know of any other domain name mishaps? Share them with us in the comments.
