Maintain a Small Link Inventory

Connect each link with its page and purpose.

A useful distinction

A publishing site can accumulate links that are difficult to identify later. An inventory helps distinguish source references, ordinary editorial links and compensated recommendations. A tracking identifier may also connect a link with a report view.

Put it into practice

Record the page, destination, relationship and review date without exposing private account credentials. Add the source for programme-specific requirements. Use the inventory when checking broken destinations or policy changes, rather than altering every external link indiscriminately.
