Criteria Explanation
C19. Absence of Dead Links

This will be evaluated separate from section A, since we will look at dead ends in recourse and reference areas. Dead links, especially if they were meant as reference points, resource or additional information, are major flaws in content delivery. You must ensure that all your links are working properly. External links should be used effectively, (references, additional information, help), and do not drive your visitors away to find the information they seek elsewhere.
