I run verification on my project's verified URL list the next day after I stop them and I am getting about 40%-50% of links failed or time-out. Is this normal of high? Do I just delete those from the list?
If you are building a lot of junk links (Blog comments, etc) then yes, this is pretty normal. Contextual tiers will typically lose about 10% of their links over a month. If your content is crappy, then a moderator could delete your articles.
@Satans_Apprentice wow 10% that is optimistic! myself and a friend are both losing 60% after a month. My content hasnt been the ebst but his has been better recently and same linkloss.
10% is what I imaigned it would be before I checked but unfortunately 60% is what the actual stat has been.
Your articles must have been written by shakespear's ghost itself!
@peterparker: I focus on contextual links, and 10% is about right for articles, social networks and wikis. I use junk but I don't track it. Maybe I am losing 50%, but if its junk I don't care.
I am using verified site lists that our team generates, and they build so many links that I don't care.

@vorob I would not index them no.
