Comments and Reviews
It's a pity this excellent program is discontinued. It was the best for long time and free.
I would like to see the tool evolve further and solve performance problems with sites with thousands of URLs. It often gets stuck on large sites :(
I was expecting the program to populate itself vs search and find for links.. I mistook this for a bookmark link checker.
It's ugly but it gets the work done!
Yet another mediocre looking and tough as hell tool to use but WORTH it!
If you are looking for a more professional solution, try Webmeup software. It does the same thing Link Sleuth does, and more.
Please disclose if you have any affiliation with Link Sleuth.. I suspect you might have, since it is the only application you've added to the site..
Go to their website and download the version that supports wildcards in the filters -- it is more flexible.
