Failed reverification has some valid links

Do urls in failed reverification get checked in the next reverification pass. I found out that there were many urls in my failed reverification list which were valid and had to add them manually to my verified list. Why does reverify not test links with 100% success? I have turned off reverify option in the project and plan to verify by using "show verified urls > verify option." This seems more accurate than the reverify option in the project options page as it showed some urls in green which I had added from the failed reverifications list.

    there is no reverification for links who failed before
  • Hi Sven! Is there an option to add this as a feauture? There are a lot of links in the failed-reverification that actually have links. Or is there an option to let GSA retry for x amounts of times before putting a link in the failed reverification list?

    You can open the Verified URLs for a project and there is an option to Import from Failed Re-verification.

    As far as I know, what you set in Verification setting popup window SER then uses when re-verifying...in running projects as well...I think ... So you can set SER to try X times to verify links  when in the Verified URL re-verify settings popup.,

    Why does it sometimes not work? A lot of link-sites go up and down due to usage or server overload. Proxies sometimes fail.  Anyone can further clarify/correct this, pleas?

    You can create a script to add the links back into the project Verified URL list, then when project is activated, it will check all links,  including the ones you added, via whatever external way you choose on your own system. You can use batch files. You can probably automate that in many other ways by now, also.
