With WordPress.com, use some of those resources, like Firefox Web Developer Extension > Validate Links, to run your posts through a link checker. You can choose to test the whole site or at least X number of web pages within the site, or individual pages.

The problem with WordPress.com is that it’s hard to find out if anyone is getting 404 errors from anything. The Referers panel sorta helps but not in a thorough and easy to use manner. So your best bet is to assume that like the rest of us web masters and administrators, there will be dead end links over time. It’s just what happens, whether those links are internal or external.

Running the site through to check for dead links and 404 errors on a regular basis, as explained in Blog Maintenance and Cleaning, will help keep you on top of those possible errors. They will happen, so expect them and work with prevention and frequent checking.
