Abstract: A system and method is disclosed for detecting invalid webpages by analyzing server redirects. A storage comprising a set of previously stored target addresses is queried to determine whether one or more of the set of previously stored target addresses result from a redirect initiated from more than a predetermined number of originating addresses. On determining that a target address resulted from a redirect initiated from more than the predetermined number of originating addresses, the originating addresses are analyzed to determine, for each address, a difference between information previously stored for the originating address and information associated with the respective target address. If the difference satisfies a predetermined threshold, the originating address is marked as not valid or is removed.
