Rather than write your own robot, you can instead take advantage of existing search engines and simply search for pages that link to your obsolete page. For instance at <plug>northernlight.com</plug> you can use search syntax: LINK: http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/MIDIMAGIC/ Other sites have similar "power user" syntax. > ... go one step further and ... send an email alert that > my address has changed. You are on your own here. My intuition is that this wouldn't scale well. >From a webmaster's point of view, unless there is a solid "relationship" behind the link, they won't want to spend a lot of time looking at unsolicited email complaining about obsolete links. If they really care about the issue, there are programs that they can use to verify their site's links. - mike mulligan // eompost 3B4B3C8E:D3E.1:ebobgf -- This message was sent by the Internet robots and spiders discussion list ([EMAIL PROTECTED]).
