# LinkCheck

Use this parameter to specify a bit-wise mask number used to determine whether the connector should follow links on a page. Enter a bit-wise mask number specifying where the connector should look for the strings defined in the parameter `LinkAllowCSVs` or `LinkDisallowCSVs`. If the specified part of a page does not contain one of the `LinkAllowCSVs` strings or does contain one of the `LinkDisallowCSVs` strings, the connector does not follow links from the page.

You can create the number by adding together some of the following numbers as appropriate:

URL: 1 | The connector checks whether the URL of a page contains any of the strings specified in the parameter `LinkAllowCSVs` or `LinkDisallowCSVs`.
Page header: 4 | The connector determines whether the HTML `<HEAD>` tag of a page contains any of the strings specified in the parameter `LinkAllowCSVs` or `LinkDisallowCSVs`.
Page content: 8 | The connector checks whether the content of a page contains any of the strings specified in the parameter `LinkAllowCSVs` or `LinkDisallowCSVs`.
Case insensitive: 64 | If you add `64` to the `LinkCheck` value, the connector checks the appropriate page parts for a case-insensitive match for the strings specified in the parameter `LinkAllowCSVs` or `LinkDisallowCSVs`. Note that if you specify `64`, you must also specify another value to indicate which part of the page the connector should check for the `LinkAllowCSVs` or `LinkDisallowCSVs` strings.

If you enter `0`, the connector does not check for the `LinkAllowCSVs` or `LinkDisallowCSVs` strings.

In the example below, the connector checks the URLs and content of pages for case-insensitive matches for the strings you specified in the parameter `LinkAllowCSVs` or `LinkDisallowCSVs`.
