Top 5 Problems Running Your Sites?

[Cleo]

I seem to spend a great deal of time tracking down dead links.

My TGP pretty much takes care of itself as the bot checks everything each day and removes anything that has changed or gone 404.

My LL also has a bot but I then have to check stuff that it finds and manually remove the sites. This is that bad but what is a problem is with LLs, unlike TPGs, the submitted stuff is multiple pages and my bot only checks the first page. I spend a great deal of time checking for sites that have changed the pages that have removed their gallery pages or pics or something.

Then there is the thousands or promotional pieces that I have built and submitted but the sponsor has gone out of business or something so the ads on my promotional pieces or no longer any good.

I think something the Link List world needs is a good bot that can check all four of the pages of all submitted (and hosted) free sites every day, or on whatever schedule the LL owner wants. Idealy it would be a customizable bot that would let the LL owner tweak a few settings so that the bot would check the free sites according to that particular Link List's rules.

Nice if it could run as a plugin of some kind to the top Link List scripts too. And if you could tell it what to do with different kinds of errors when it finds them. Something rule-based would be good.
