			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><h3>Worry about your blog value?</h3>
<p>There are many ways to make sure your blog value didn&#8217;t drop. One of them is checking existing links that are broken or looks like a spam website. You can check your old articles from time to time for any unnecessary external links to other suspicious blog that are already down, not updated for more than a year, appear like MFA (made-for-adsense) website, and less updated blog. Your links to these types of websites will degrade your blog value over the years.</p>
<p>So, you should practice to clean up your external links for every few months or half years to make sure your links are always up to date. Broken links will also degrade your blog value. You can check for any broken links using Google Webmaster Tool where you can see search engine crawl error on certain pages.</p>
<p>Having some external links are good for your blog also. Don&#8217;t ever think that linking to other blogs will decrease your blog traffic or search engine ranking position. Linking to outside websites makes your blog look more natural but not too much.</p>
<p>Hope you find these tips useful <img src='http://www.limfy.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
