Get your link checker to make an MD5 checksum of the page each time it
pulls it and then compare the result with previous results. This will
tell you when any of the HTML is changed. Of course sites that include
HTML that is generated on the fly will always appear to be changing but if
you point to mainly static web pages it'll give you a reasonable first
line filter.
