      Hello,

      I have a large list of URL's in an excel sheet and I am looking for a way to check them for 404 errors. Please help!

        Do a Google Search for "bulk url checker" and a ton of results come up (most you can export back to excel).

        Also, possible solution here: http://www.mrexcel.com/forum/excel-questions/507688-excel-url-check-help.html

            If this is something you check for often (which it probably should be), you might want to check out a program like Screaming Frog.  That makes it really easy to find 404s and any other response codes.
