Question Re: Does having a few broken links in your site cause a ban?

You're in a perfect position to test it then ... fix your broken links and see if your position improves. I'm sure I can't imagine why those broken links are still there when you know about them.

Good call, I just thought about that. The amount of work it will take to complete this task in one shot overwhelms other responsibilities - I'm on it!

I actually believe as well that our site's sers will increase but I don't think we're penalized.
