Jim Munro: Please elaborate on "What's the #Wikipedia Dead Link Advantage!", please +Girish Kapoor ;:)
Girish Kapoor: +Jim Munro kindly read this link and tell me how it is important for us??? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Dead_link
Jim Munro: That's an internal use document for managing Wikipedia. What you might have read is that sometimes Editors of Wikipedia will reference your site and provide a link to it. It is in your interests to check these occasionally and make sure you have not broken any of the links by removing or changing URL's. In this case it is good practice to revive these links by either editing the Wikipedia document. (painful and sometimes results in the reference being removed by some Wiki Numpty) OR add a 301 redirect on your site pointing to the relevant page of your site (Recommended).
Girish Kapoor: +Jim Munro it's black hat technique i think, because if we set our url with the help of 301on someone content
Jim Munro: No it is not. You will never see blackhat option posted here or at least if there are, they won't last long. I will attempt to clarify during tonight's HOA
