I have heard mixed opinions on this one, but I feel your site's traffic count is YOUR business. A sure way to minimize this is to manually check all your links to make sure they all work. This can be quite a task especially if you have several pages. The easier your page is to read and understand, the longer you will keep the potential prospect on you site. I am constantly amazed at the number of pages I visit that have typos.
Nothing looks more unprofessional than a bunch of misspelled words on a web page.
A visitor lost in sea of text will soon leave. A busy, crowded page will appear confusing and scare people off. It is much harder to read. Most people don't like to scroll through long pages. So instead, link them to the next page.
