What is Link Rot?

[sreelavanya]

Link Rot does not take tendency connected with hypertext back links collected from one of Web site to a new internet site for being useless because different web-sites cease to exist or even take away or even reorganize their own Webpages. It really is a friendly time period to the process through which more and more back links indicate website pages, servers or even different assets that have come to be for a long time not available.

Link rot — sometimes spelled linkrot — describes the way in which links to web pages routinely decay or become unavailable over time.

[Sherinfriedler]

Link rot (or linkrot), also known as link death or link breaking, is an informal term for the process by which increasing numbers of links (either on individual websites or the Internet in general) point to web pages, servers or other resources that have become permanently unavailable. The phrase also describes the effects of failing to update out-of-date web pages that clutter search engine results. A link that does not work any more is called a broken link, dead link or dangling link.

Link rot also know as dead/broken link which tells you that the link to your site is no more alive/page has been removed. You can check it on Google webmaster tool and remove it. Because broken links put bad affect on your site ranking.

[frankdevine]

Internet slang for the condition where hypertext links lead nowhere because Web sites have removed Web pages or reorganized them. Also known as outdated links.

To prevent linkrot, Web sites can add redirects, which automatically take users to the correct URL, or, they can provide the new and correct url on the old page.

I think I got my answer her for link rot, but now the question arises is how the links are rot, is there any "special reason" for dead links??

Link Rot is noting but a synonym of a dead link. Not working link.

Link Rot refers to link breaking or link death. It is a process by which links to web pages become unavailable permanently i.e. links stop going to places where they were designed to go.
