However, a few days ago I added two more with the content in the Spanish languge. There will be more in the future. They are ignored. Is there any reason for this? 73471 1 ville.skytta 2012-09-08 08:36:36 +0000 More information is needed to investigate: exactly which documents or links are being ignored? 73475 2 mlx75 2012-09-08 15:31:20 +0000 These URLs are listed and evaluated: www.amelox.com/orderpage.html www.Amelox.com/Tutor-Start.html These URLs are not listed nor evaluated: www.amelox.com/orderpage-ES.html www.Amelox.com/Tutor-Start-ES.html The difference between the two is that the content in the latter is in Spanish. But the HTML5 in both is in English. 73476 3 mlx75 2012-09-08 15:34:17 +0000 sorry, the computer capitalized amelox because there is a period in front. 73478 4 ville.skytta 2012-09-08 18:51:54 +0000 What is the URL of the document that contains those links? http://www.amelox.com/ (the "root" page) does not contain any of those four. 73481 5 mlx75 2012-09-08 20:29:17 +0000 (In reply to comment #4) > What is the URL of the document that contains those links? > http://www.amelox.com/ (the "root" page) does not contain any of those four. Yes, the first two are in the directory. The Link-Checker finds them, too. Please look again. The server is capitalization sensitive. These URLs are listed and evaluated: www.amelox.com/orderpage.html www.amelox.com/Tutor-Start.html These URLs are not listed nor evaluated: www.amelox.com/Orderpage-ES.html www.amelox.com/Tutor-Start-ES.html Thank you, Rolf 73488 6 ville.skytta 2012-09-09 07:19:49 +0000 What's needed is the URL of the document that links to the documents you mentioned. The main page does not: $ curl -s http://www.amelox.com/ | grep -Pi '(orderpage|tutor-start)' (produces no output) 73494 7 mlx75 2012-09-09 17:44:48 +0000 Thank you. I see now what is 'wrong': Each page needs a referrer page. I fixed that even though I had not intended it at this time. I also noted that sub-directory stand-alone pages can be checked separately. That was not the case previously and it solves the problem. Thank you, Rolf 73512 8 ville.skytta 2012-09-10 06:14:21 +0000 Yes, if there are no links to a page, the link checker has no way of knowing that it exists.
