Link Decay - How To Discuss

Link Decay

Also called link rot, link or link rot, link decay is a term that describes the process where a hyperlink no longer refers to the original file, content, page or server that caused it to be used.

Link degradation can occur when the resource it points to has been replaced with a new address or is permanently unavailable to the domain owner. Link decay can be detrimental to a site's credibility as the content cited is no longer as reliable as it used to be.

This topic is researched and studied by people all over the world and is subjective due to the level at which the internet's ability to remember and store information is discussed.
