Linkbot can be started just like a browser – enter a URL into the Address box and press return. Linkbot will then automatically scan through the entire site and check the links between each URL. Linkbot provides two ways to view the results: graphically in an "Explorer style" interface (show below) or in an HTML report (shown later).
After initiating the analysis, Linkbot will scan your entire site and check the links between each URL. For external URLs, Linkbot will only check that the link from your site is functioning, it will not branch onto another site and check its links as well. Linkbot will only branch further on URLs with the same base address (e.g. http://tetranetsoftware.com/) as the one you entered to start the analysis.
Note: It's also possible to customize the depth of the search and to filter specific URLs from the analysis. More on this in Exercise 13.
