False Dead Link Errors
Due to the unstable nature of
the Internet, you may encounter several errors that appear to be
dead links. These errors are always generated by your browser as an
error message box. The website is actually there, you just can't
access it at the moment.
Below is a brief list of some browser-generated errors. If you
receive such errors, don't fill out this form. Just remain calm and keep
trying the link. It should eventually work.

normal.

True Dead Link Errors
Below is a listing of typical true
link errors. If you received one of these errors, continue filling out
this form. You have uncovered a true dead link!
404--File/Page/Object Not Found: The major error for dead links.
Means that the website does not reside on that service's computer. Either
the site has been removed or we have may a typo in our URL. (I try my best
to double check URLs for typos, but they can slip in!)
DNS Error: Usually when the domain name (ie www.domain.com) is
invalid or no longer exists. However, it is possible that the domain name
is valid but just isn't accessible at the moment. Clicking the link later
may load the website...or it may not.
Access Forbidden: Pretty self-explanatory. We can no longer
access the website.
Password Needed: We won't link to sites that require a password
to load the homepage.
Domain Name For Sale: The most common error -- your ISP traps the error and
offers to sell you the web site name (url). These are true dead links -- the web site has folded!
True dead link? Please continue filling
out form.
