That is a great list of link checkers. I didn’t know there were so many.
Currently I use a WordPress plugin that will help check backlinks on my blog. Unfortunately, it won’t check all the links, which is where the above sites may help.

Hey Sahil,
Great list, i think i will use these in future rather than my own server. ( wordpress plugin )
There is a plugin called broken link checker for wordpress as well however it can be very server intensive.. I did a check on my site after not doing a check for ages and there was over 400 broken links in comments alone..
Wish I had checked it more regularly..
Regards,
Timon

Hi
I have never checked for broken links to my site. Hadn’t even checked anyhting apart from on google webmaster tools. So will be interesting to look at something else and possibly get a different angle on things.
Great info thanks lee
I use brokenlinkcheck (no. 8) frequently. The tool of the site works great by highlighting the broken link for every webpage. Thanks for sharing the broken link services list. Maybe I’ll try W3c and iwebtool.
