ATTENTION: many hosted galleries going 404!
 

For my weekly update I just wanted to get some new hosted movie galleries, but what a frustration:

Silvercash's hosted movie galleries had all content links go 404! I checked over 30 of them.
Karup's gallery links went straight to a 404 error! I gave up after about 6 or 7...

I didn't visit other sponsors, but I feel I should now spend hours checking each and every hosted gallery link in my TGP database.

If this is the sponsor's way to be be 2257 compliant then it's a rather poor way of doing so, particularly since none of them send an email or bothered to inform webmasters on their affiliate pages!

Imagine how your sales and the rate of bookmarkers will go down the drain once the surfers are too frustrated with links you're providing on your site...

So be warned: DON'T RELY ON HOSTED GALLERIES FOR YOUR TGP UPDATES unless you've checked recently that the galleries AND their content are still alive!

That's why I run linkchecker everyday to remove them

yep 2257 problems.....

As far as I know the linkchecker of AutoGallery SQL doesn't check any permanent (= rotating) galleries...

Which 3rd party script do you recommend?

Deleted because I've had too much wine and mis-read the original post.

silvercash is leaving the galls up but redirect on the content links
thats very low

but my karups links is still working

I use a private version of http://budzsoft.com/?cat=agree2&download=linkchecker

the free ones not bad tho ;)

btw thanks for the heads up

yep...
